Fucked my back up Monday night at the gym. I was squatting 315 lb for reps and felt a "twinge" on my 2nd set. I of course finished my workout (including stiff-leg dead lifts) because I'm a moron.

For the last 2 days I can barely bend over and I can't sit or stand too long without stiffening up. I'm really hoping at this point that it is just a soft tissue pull/strain and not a disc(s). Holy fuck am I hoping. Gonna give it til the end of the week to mellow and will go see a Dr. if it doesn't.

Point is, if this fucks up my 1st season after dropping almost $3k on gear and a season pass I'm gonna be pretty bummed (read as FUCKING PISSED OFF!). Anyway, just wanted to whine. As you were...

Get to a physiotherapist asap as well as your doctor who will prescribe some muscle relaxants. IMS needling at physio office is the bomb.

Well, there's your problem right there.

Seriously, back problems can be a bitch. The only good thing about them is that they can also be agony and turn out to be just a pulled muscle.

Ice packs for the immediate moment. See a physio asap. Don't screw around. Season's coming.

Shooting leg pain, loss of strength while standing, leg giving out while walking is more an indication of structural damage as opposed to muscle strain. Not a doctor but this is what happened when I messed up my disc.

Sneezing is only 2nd to child birth on the pain scale!!!!!
Muscle relaxants with rest, try to stay off the pain killers just fools your body into letting you move around more than you should.

Get better soon we start riding next week hopefully. Man-made but it's riding !!!!

Least you was doing some weight. I had 135 on for a warm up set first rep felt knee pop hasnt been right in months. Never had a knee problem in my life. maybe go to a chirpractor to get some muscle stim and make sure ur shits straight.

Yeah, I really hope it's just a strain. Even that can take up to 6 wks to heal. Right now it's just ice, light stretching, naproxen, and rest. I'm going to try and get in to see the physio ASAP.

Thanks

This time of year is kind of weird for geezers. You know you better step up so that you can hit it harder and ramp up faster....but you don't want to over do it and take your self out before the riding even happens. So kind of torn between doing nothing and hope for the best or doing something and something friching#$%^#$^$%#$^ happens.

Guess I need to go find some moar virgins to make an additional sacrifice for my health and a few extras for the snow gods....I'll get some for ya.
