Painkillers

Your lower back has tightened up to protect your spine.
In my case I herniated a disc and allowed the fluid to leak.

Do spinal decompression exercises daily
Google "DR Stuart McGills lower back stabilisation protocol"
Do it daily

Do it daily for about 3 months and you should be okay

Do it word for word

I fucked my back up deadlifting though, same thing, seized the fuck up and I couldn't bend over at ALL

Move around, walk, and right now do the stabilisation program if you can.

Muscle relaxants, HOT shower directly over your lower back and I'd call in sick personally but it won't kill you to go in.

i have advil does that count

thanks; do you think it's serious?? any quick fixes for now at all? i would really prefer to go in for work...

>>17705922
it's an hour to commute to work for me and this pain is still about as painful as it started...
i guess if it's not going away in an hour, i'll sit out of work today.

Quick fix would be hot shower and doing the stabilisation guide
See a doctor for physio. I have a herniated disc and went through the same thing.

Takes like 1-3 months of daily rehab to get better

First time it occurred for me I was 11 miles from home. The journey back was hell. Don't go to work today, walk around, keep active and the pain will be lesser by tomorrow.

You need to do daily rehab though.

well shit... thanks, i guess i'll have to sit out from work today...

Good luck man. I'll keep this thread on thread watcher for a few hours in case you need any help

Mkay... don't now if I'm late by an hour,day,month, or year. But I do know that ice cold showers relax your muscles, not hot ones. Just because a hot shower feels good, it doesn't mean its good for you. Ice cold showers have mich more health benefits than hot ones.

damn you're lucky. I had my l5-s1 herniated and there was no reabsorbtion after six fucking months. I had to get a surgery

I'm still in pain and it happened in January

I just live with it at this point. Im in a lot less pain.

>>17705920
ME TOO literally the same thing happened to me.
Herniated disc while deadlifting 3 months ago, re-injured it 2 weeks ago and got a bad CSF leak and just today am able to come off bed rest.

>>17706219
nine months? you know the prognosis deteriorates the longer you wait to have it repaired. you need the surgery if it's been that long, and waiting longer means it'll be much harder for them to fix. ideally if it's not better in 3 months you should have it repaired surgically

>>17706229
Glad I'm not the only one. Felt really bad when it happened, like I've permanently damaged myself, now I'm deadlifting again pain free and soon going back to old numbers

>>17706219
Post surgery, I still feel pain and can't flex all the way, still can't sit for more than an hour without pain. But I am in so little pain comparatively it is like magic. Plus I get lifetime medical marijuana for "irreparable spinal pain"
