markymark said:Tonight I hurt my lower back while squatting. I am around 74Kg (5´11¨)
and squat about 100kg so it´s a reasonable weight for my size. My form
looks good, but maybe I arch my back too much.The pain came during the squat but I stupidly continued to complete my
set. It is a sharp pain which is right in the lower centre of the back
and does not feel muscular. It is now sore in various seated positions
and especially as I get-up or lower myself onto a chair.Can anyone with experience advise what might have been damaged ( spine,
nerve, muscle ) and what the best remedy could be? Should I take
anything? How long should I stay off squats?
You can take an anti-inflammatory, such as Alieve to reduce swelling.
See how it feels tomorrow and in a couple days. Check with a doctor
or maybe chiro early next week if you don't see much improvement.
