Loud pop lower back on deadlifts misc doctors pls

[thecpthree]

wtf I warmed up.. first set of 315 on the first rep halfway up I felt a pop (it was like a pulling sensation like two things splitting almost) in my lower back. The pop didn't hurt, but it made me drop the bar mid lift. I noticed something felt off and immediately started putting the weights up. Halfway through putting them up I couldnt even bend all the way down to do it.

Got them put up, got in my car, and did 70mph home. It hurt like a motherf! at this point

Now I've drank some whiskey and popped advil, but this sht still hurts bad. I can bend over but I have to do it slow and I still feel pain. I'm just sitting and icing it

will I be ok??

serious

You will never deadlift again!

[SeymourCake]

When you do deadlifts, do you touch and go or reset form after each lift?

reset but this was the middle of my first rep of my first real set after warming up

here's an old vid of my form. all I've changed is I don't drop the weight down anymore (I set it down) and I don't take as long to reset

First I thought it was aids, but upon reading your post, have you noticed any discoloration? I forgot the name of the tissue, but it's what connects your lower back to your ass. Had a similar experience two years ago. Took two weeks of rest and a visit to the chiropractor to set things straight.

bro i cant miss 2 weeks lifting holy sht. I looked and thought I saw some to the left side of the spine but I couldn't really tell in the mirror.. maybe it hasn't started the discoloration part yet

[narak1]

saw the vid. is going down like that safe? wat


i try to keep everything tight throughout the movement.

And deadlifts strike again, fuark OP, same chit happend to me a year and a half back, but i was doing bent rows (fukcing lol) took a few days but i was able to move around again pretty comfortably and here I am now squatting 405 again pain free, I don't deadlift often but I can still do it, lighter weights though with flawless form. Just make sure you baby it until the majority of the pain has subsided, and maybe start back with some bodyweight hyperextension to rebuild lower back integrity/strength. Best of luck OP!

[UkChris93]

snap city brah, been there before, rest it ice it take some time off stretch ur lower back foam roll etc ull be back im sure

[Benny_Lava]

if i heard a loud pop in my lower back while deadlifting id curl up in the fetal position and weep. and never deadlift again. either because i can't or because i'd be too terrified.

well I don't even do that anymore. I set it down now instead of dropping it. Regardless I didn't even make it to a full rep before the pop happened. It was halfway through the first rep

video of you squatting 405, reps for life.

[purrlydoctor]

Congrats, enjoy the sciatica. Ice your lower back and don't exercise for a couple days. I pulled my back in January and took me well over two weeks to recover. Do a ton of stretching, back and abdominal strengthening exercises (google for sciatica). Do those almost daily. Foam roll etc

[chickenallday]

this is exactly what happened to me. felt a pop midlift and dropped. thought i was fine. bent over to take weights off and couldnt. most painful car ride back home.

ibuprofen, fish oil, lots of cals, alternate icing/heating.

took 3 months till i could go back to lifting. lots of stretching/foam rolling. sciatica sucked too

Hope so. I haven't exactly been babying it. Since I've been drinkin and poppin advil I've been slowly stretching (which still hurts like a mf) and probably is not good AT ALL to do

isn't resetting it down more slowly a bit more dangerous?

but becareful man

[TheIronAsylum]

youre spine actually exploded

Go to the emergency room dude, if you slipped a disc or something similar, you may have chronic pain for the rest of your life if not properly treated.

[thecpthree]

No idea mayne I guess it's just genetics

[ats94]

Open did it sound like this pop, or more like this POP?

[FapKingKong]

Sounds like you broke your angus bone bruh. Next time tell Jamal to use some lube.

[Azmine]

you could've injured a disc in your lumbar spine. You'll have to check it out, as the pain you mentioned could suggest the disc (whether bulging or herniated is now impressing on your spinal cord.)

I know your pain mane.

I currently can't deadlift due to lower back injury. Went to doctor and it's strained muscles in lower back. It's from previous work, but when I tried to deadlift once (it was only 135 and I could easily get 280 for reps before) I felt a pop near my tailbone and couldn't even pick the weight up.

Currently in the process of minor physiotherapy.

The LAST THING you want to do is fuark with it. If you don't have insurance, see if there's some place around where you live that might do it free of charge/reduced cost.

What does your back feel like now? If you start having fever, chills, headaches or numbness in any extremity go to the emergency right away (srs).

It wasn't a knuckle crack that's for sure. It was pretty loud but I don't think anyone else close by heard it

[sawang]

see a doctor *******
fuk how much does a couple xrays and a doctors visit cost vs having a back injury you might be able to fix now but not if you leave it

Well it hurts constantly when sitting down. When I stand up it hurts, but it goes away as long as I stay pretty still

To bend over to plug something in the wall for example I have to brace myself with a hand and lean on the wall
