Hey guys and gals, I have this problem and don't know what it could be. I have this pain in my lower back more like the end of my spine to the right kind of by my butt. And it hurts pretty bad. It only hurts when I twist my body to the left, after a workout, and it hurts the most when in sitting down for a while and get up it stops me from straightening my back for about 10 seconds. I had this problem for about 2-3 days now and it got worse after doing squats I had to stop my workout to stop further injury. Anybody know what it could be? Causes and treatment for it? Any information would be cool thanks.

Sounds like as mild lumbar disc strain. Possibly due to poor form or poor flexibility.
Stretching glutes is very important.
Making sure the lumbar spine does not ruond at the bottom of the squat.
Poor abdominal muscle strength can also be an issue.
McKenzie extension exercises work well for these injuries and working on your flexibilityThe science is out there!

I had some pretty serious back pain in January of last year. Got an X ray and everything
Turns out nothing was wrong, but I couldn't do deads, squats, or BB rows. They destroyed me to the point where one time I collapsed mid rep on a deadlift and had to leave.
I just avoided the exercises that bothered me for 6 months and now I'm back to BB rowing 3 plates and squatting 4 and deadlifting 5.
IDK if my experience is normal but the pain just went away once I stopped aggravating itThe 2 most important things to me when training are 1. The Muscle Mind Connection. and 2. Intensity

Good that you decided to pause your workout for some time. It might be due to the excessive stress that you used to experience while working out. It is better that you consult a doctor or a radiology consultant to know what exactly the reason is. 2nd Radiology Opinion in Ontario is one of the best places to get it done!

how low is the pain? is it above ur butt or is it really low? Did it start when you were training or a few hours after? I had some severe soreness in my lower back( where the 2 indents are) after doing deadlifts and hypers on the same day. Turned out all I needed was a hot bath, stretching and plenty of sleep.

OP as someone who has had lower back pain for almost 3 years due to 3 different causes and 2 spinal abnormalities please take note.
Do NOT try and treat it with what anyone tells you to do, forum member or doctor. Never try and treat something for what you don't know what the cause is
For the next 10 days STOP whatever aggravates it and makes it worse, but stay active.
If pain persists for more than 10 days get yourself to an orthopaedic surgeon.
Does it hurt when you arch?
Does it initially hurt when you bend over but eventually relax?
Do you get "jolts" of pain that immobilize you that feels like lightning?
Do you get pain down your leg?
Have you noticed any bowel/bladder abnormalities?
Does it hurt while your squatting or after you rack the bar?
Does it feel like muscle pain?

I think you sprained your lower back...this happened to me twice for 2-3 months @/time each...damn 1/2 year devoted to exclusively upper back...good advice for squats is...train your abs and stick em out front to stabilize yourself.
It will hurt your back less. Also, focus on pushing your heels into the ground when you push down.
Don't spread it thru ur feet, mainly thru your heels.Back injury from squats/deads(3/9/2013)
