Cracked my lower back while squatting

I dun goofd. Went for a srs squatting session today, and on the last set my legs must've been tired, and crapped out on me. I dropped the bar on the rack and cracked my lower back. I've had minor lower back problems for a while, and I guess this was the last crack (lol). My back hurts like hell, and I'm stopping all physical activity until I get better. Now it hurts to walk, sit and bend over. I'm just glad I'm still able to walk. I took 2 tylenol so far and it's gotten a little better but I'll take some Advil PM tonight and I'll see a therapist soon.

definitely keep taking tylenol and hold off seeing the therapist right away, you're doing it right brah

I just started doing deep squats a week ago. I'm scared as chit now......

Something similar happened to me. Was doing deep squats and in the hole felt a pop/crack. The next day it hurt badly an I had the same issues with bending etc.
Went to physio a month later when it didn't get better from rest. I found out I sprained my back(pulled a ligament on my spine)

Damn brah, that sucks. I'm sure I don't have that (inb4 I do). I can walk fine, and I'm slightly better than before. My body will recover soon hopefully.

Don't be. Just make sure you can handle the weight...and do it in a squat rack.

Get better soon bro! Rep'd.

Thanks for all the wishes brahs. Reps till I'm out.

Things is....my gym, well weight room, has a smith machine only :(. Wish I had a squat rack.

LOL at the first 3 comments

If you've had back issues for a while now, even if they are only minor, it could be worth going the doctors about it. But I think resting it is definitely a better option then to continue lifting.

See the Chiro, he'll fix you right up. srs, you could probably lift the same night you get fixed up if you feel up to it.

Then you have nothing to worry about. Squat to your heart's content.
