Four weeks ago or 5 I hurt my back some how, I think from lifting weights. I finally feel good and loose again to get “meaningful” workouts. Not sure what happened but my back just hurt like f*ck, tense as shit, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t move, etc etc. Coughing hurt…in fact just plain old breathing hurt for the first couple days, the side of my ribs kind of hurt, f#ck! Glad those times are through…
The closest thing I can remember is I may have had bad form on heavy floor presses with the bar being too low/not over my chest. Because that’s where the pain really was worst, it was like my upper spine was in severe pain for a while.
Then oddly enough it got better after a couple weeks, but then my lower back started hurting for a week. And now it feels OK…
But before I hit the gym hard again I want to at least get an opinion from a “trained professional”. Would a chiropractor be a better start? This kind of injury just hasn’t happened to me ever so I’m inexperienced in how to pursue. I don’t want to get shitty advice from a doctor who sucks.
