how do I know if I herniated my back?

>>40841753
you were doing ohp?

You wouldn't herniate a disc with such a low amount of weight unless you were already extremely degenerated, i.e if you were old or had severe back problems. And thoracic disc hernition is very rare. Can pretty much guarantee you strained a muscle. Rest up and take aspirin, you'll be ok in a week or two.

I'f you've herniated your disc you'd know it. You'd feel specific, sharp, electric pain to areas of your body. Do you feel the pain behind your shoulders or is it in your lower back? What kind of pain do you feel? What makes the pain better or worse? What exercise were you performing when it happened, and is the pain better or worse since then?

K brauh, I'll take it easy for a minute (again) it seems that every week I pull something and have to take 2-3:days off, I guess I am pumping way out of my league but I wanna be buff.

Nah I did standing curls with 40 pounds on each side, my left side seems to be too weak still to go up to 40 I was barely able to pump 10 reps of 35 with my left arm

Is right between the shoulder blades and the spine, it mostly contained there, I don't feel electric pains, mostly a burning type sensation right there but the spine seems upset, I actually didn't feel much of anything today it just started hurting again a minute ago just like it did yesterday, I am just really chicken shit when it comes to injuries I panic pretty easy

If you hurt your spine from doing standing curls, then you're doing something wrong you absolute retard

Concern is okay. You most likely had a superficial muscle sprain, which isn't serious unless you keep working the muscle and which isn't implicated in anything neurologically, at least not yet. Rotate your exercises, do different things, give it a week of rest. How's your posture when you're sitting and standing?

Is fine, no problems with posture at all, I am almost sure is a muscle sprain cus as The swell is lowering is parting from the spine and concentrating mostly on a spot between the spine and the shoulder blade, it burns like a mother and I feel all sorts of micro movements in there probably inflammation, I such a fucking bomb cuss I was hoping to do upper body tomorrow I worked the legs too much this week.

Do you still work out even with your injury?

What if there's a spot about the size of a fist over my spine that is completely numb

That's what I feel but not numbness it burns to me

how the fuck do you propose you herniated a disk from standing curls

>>40842076
Trapped nerve. Burning often occurs when there is no signal from a nerve.

>>40842453
fucking second
this has to be b8

I refuse to believe this is real until OP provides time stamped video of his curl form, including how he picks up the weights.

Tell me be honest I have a minimally Bulged disc in my l4 l5 area it's been achy since November used to be numbness in my but the stretches fixed that. I still can't carry milk cartons. Does swimming and core exercises heal the disx. I've been to pt and got out and they said they cant do anything else. Is this forever
