      While deadlift i injured my lower back right in the middle I felt the pain .
      But when I woke up next morning it was in the left side...it does not pain while sleeping or sitting in normal posture...it only feels while I try to bend or sit in bulded posture...
      Is it a normal muscle injury or herniated disc ?

      I have a little lower back pain, just once I got numbness in my left leg. So do I need to worry about it? Or can this be fixed. In 2022 I hurt my back during a 250 pound deadlift, my weight was around 150 pounds. When I go on long drives my back hurts but it's bearable.

    I have had lower back pain for a few years. I’m only 34 but i hurt every day. the doctors / specialists I have seen seem to disagree as to what is causing my pain, the imaging they have done, they say actually looks pretty good, the years of constant pain have worn me down, i often wish I was no longer alive so I could escape the pain.

      @@CrownVickGaming did X-ray and said they seen small shift in skeletal area but not anything drastic without a mri to determine more. My health insurance would not cover any of the mri due to wanting me to do physically thearpy. They wanted me to go 3-4 a week and with work and cost wasn’t able to. Dr ended up giving me a muscle relaxer and said to do lots of short stretches not trying to crack back and after a month it was better. Still feels a little soar at times but much better so I may have been lucky but I suggest see your dr to see what they determine for it could be a worse situation for others.

    I'm going to keep up the tradition of asking for advice on the Internet lol. Just under a week ago I felt a twinge in my back doing nothing in particular other than walking around my house, thought nothing much of it and went to sleep only to find myself unable to get out of bed. Now, my bed is very firm as it's something I've been used to sleeping with some some time (it's a japanese floor mattress but with 1" memory foam just to take out any pressure spots).
    In took me 35 minutes to get to an upright position and to the bathroom, at which point I got stuck on the toilet due to muscle agony in the back which pretty much spasming everything from hips to lower torso. It was horrendous. Had to essentially lower myself on the floor and crawl away to the sofa and hoist myself onto it.
    I believe it's just muscle sprain. However the pain is immense whenever I try and move and I know some mobility is important so try and do very small stretches here and there and stand up.
    I've managed to grab a walking stick that used to go hiking with and can hobble around the house but not use stairs in order to go to the bathroom but we are talking journeys which ends up taking 10-15 minutes unless I crawl which is faster.
    Slowly running out of stockpiles of ibuprofen and switched to some Diclofenac gel in the medicine cabinet (taking care not to overdose of nsaids) but it's not working. I've also run out of groceries such as milk and eating whatever tinned stuff is left over. Similarly my bins are full and can't empty them so it's starting to look like a hobo camp.
    I physically can't leave the house to get to the doctors and they don't do house calls anymore and feel really self conscious about calling for an ambulance and taxis won't transport injured people but pretty soon I'll run out of options.
    The internet is full of wacky videos about fixing your back with this stretch or that but I can't even get my socks on or off without a fight. Can muscle injuries alone be so bad? Surely should have gotten some recovery even if it's only been a week. I keep hoping next time wake up that I can stand up and not undergo a crazy gymnastics routine, it's starting to pull on other muscles to compensate.

      things are going ok anyhow. managed to get someone to get some compresses and ice, emptied bins and even got a shave too. honestly I had no idea a strained muscle could be so debilitating or painful. with the aid of a stick and side of a table and can stand but pressure just caves in the lower part of the back if try to stay upright.
      ice helps alot to take down the inflammation and heat out but understand it may take a couple weeks or more to start feeling better but at least have access also to fresh food again. yoghurts, nuts, berries and things that don't need me to stand and prepare.
      what's driving me crazy is im a clean person who hates clutter, but if something lands of the floor then it's staying there. man I can't wait to be able to use the vacuum cleaner again lol

      I’m having this same problem. Tried lifting something and felt a pop. I was ok for an hour until I was getting ready to drive and something about my truck seat made everything worse. Took me 30 minutes to get out of my truck and get to the bed to lay down flat which helped initially. Now I have to drag myself like the dog from family guy or crawl. Using the restroom is almost impossible and is an hour long task of jumping on and off the seat. Can’t sit straight but sometimes I can stand in a certain way and move until I twist and the pain continues. Hoping you got better because I’m losing hope two days in.

      Similar case. Lifted something heavy and felt a pop in the lower back. Didn't think much of it but 1 hour later I had to get off from work and go home to rest. Next day I could barely get up. It took me 20 minutes to put the socks on.
      It's been a week since that happened and it's getting better. I can now walk and sit without trouble. It only hurts really bad when I bend over to pick something up so I try to avoid doing that. My doctor told me its a pulled muscle but I wanted to get an MRI anyway just to be sure its not a hernia.

    I have chronic sciatica and two years ago this horrible pain started along the right side of my spine and now it's my rib cage. It feels like the muscles are cramped up and twisting left or right is ALWAYS uncomfortable. It never lets up. Sleeping is not my friend anymore. I haven't gotten a good, painless nights sleep in two years. Some days I wake up and it's so painful I feel like a mummy waking up from a hundred year sleep 😅 my shoulders will hurt, too. I can't tell if it's a disk or what.. recently my neck has been hurting. I take Advil almost every day and this is not a way to live anymore. I'm very depressed.

    My issue started a couple of years ago with what I thought along with my doctor was a femoral nerve issue. It was on fire. It has been an issue off and on. I am 69 y/o male obese but quite active. No back pain but pain in the upper middle glute and across my quad and to the top of the shin causing me to limp and to stop sprinting on sand dunes. I went to hilot in Philippines who found a dime size knot in the top of my glute on that side (left) that has substantially improved much of the issue. But the limp continues and is almost not there when I get up but in an hour or so is very evident. Ideas? All of the leg pain is toward the inside of the leg. Lifting my leg when laying down and my quad (femoral nerve) will quiver)

    Hey, I’m 17 and whenever I turn my back I feel the grinding between the bones. What does that mean? Does it mean my disc are degenerating and I’m going to get shorter? Will this go away? Please answer!

    I’m curious about what type of doctor I should see to get a better understanding on what I need to do for all my aches and pains. Example(s) I have poor posture, I am pretty sure I have a pinched nerve or something that causes my very low back to have burning or stinging sensation by the slightest touch, I am very tense and my lower back is always very tense and needs some sort of massage to relieve it and have more mobility, I have calluses on the metatarsal ball (I’m not sure if that is the correct term). Everything started going downhill pretty quickly just two days before I turned 40 and I am not living like this the rest of my life and I need to correct so many things. But where do I start? I’m a overall healthy person and have had all the labs to rule out any vitamin and hormone deficiency, my A1C is good, but I only have a vitamin D3 deficiency and I take supplements. So where do I start with finding the issues so I can start correcting them?

      @@DrDavidGeier If I had a medical question, I would ask the physician I pay for care. I would never ask a random RUclips doctor for medical advice. It’s illegal and disrespectful. If I had a rash, it’s very easy to tell someone to see a dermatologist. Asking what type of doctor I should seek is not medical advice. This is why I don’t subscribe to channels so quickly. I’m a busy mom and not going look through hundreds of videos to see if I can figure it out when it’s so simple to ask. Seeing the auto generated responses on others comments, I will pass on watching a livestream when the channel doesn’t even communicate with who supports them. Good luck 👍🏻

    I have bulging disc in L5 S1. It is desiccated as well. It hadn’t bothered me for about a year and suddenly I’ve been over to pick up something small and I was in excruciating pain. I got an ultrasound only in the sacral region because the ultrasound tech wouldn’t look at my spine any further. She says I have a torn quadratus lumborum muscle. The area where she is pointing to the tear is the exact spot where I injured my back back 20 something years ago and I think the area that she thinks is a tear might be the old wound in that area. My Pain started out as a dull ache just right on my sacrum. Then it progressed to sciatic pain as well as pain in the sacrum. Is it possible that that old injury is showing up to look like a torn muscle when it really isn’t?if my muscle is torn, what exactly should I be doing besides resting? I walk a little bit between resting and that is all I do. I wasn’t given much aftercare instructions. Thank you and sorry for the long question.

    I was doing weighed sit-ups and heard and felt a pop in my lower back. It felt like it was in the spine but I’m not sure.
    Right after it only hurted slightly in and around the spine when I arched my back back and now (about 8 hours later) it’s a little worse but still pretty mild.
    Could this be a disc injury and should I seek medical help?

    Hello Doctor.
    I have low back pain , It started a few mouths ago with groin pain after cycling. Osteopate told me it was shorted PSOAS muscle due to long time sitting at work . This mouth I wake up with low back pain and it presided a few days so my doctor sent me to make a TAC exam .
    Do you think it is the psoas muscle or can be a hernia at low back ?
    Work sitting all day , and I do lots of sports like rowing, running and cycling as well.
    Age 43 169cm tall and 67kg
    Thank you
