I was squatting in the squat rack, and on the last rep of my last set, I had a mental slip and dropped the bar. My lower back hurt like hell, and I saw the doctor a few days later.
Got an x-ray, nothing bad apparently, and I had a sprained lower back. Was prescribed numbing cream and ibuprofen.
It will be 3 weeks since I hurt myself on Tuesday, and I'm feeling all right. I can do everything fine, and I feel completely fine, but I feel like my lower back is still weak/recovering. I don't want to hurt myself, but like I said I feel completely fine. I want to start going back to the gym.
Should I just go do cardio? Or should I start to work out again?
