This is the exercise. Help me out here is it serious ?

if the pain is localized then it's most likely a muscle strain

I had one 4 days ago, snaped my shit up on the second set third rep of 95 kg squats... I couldn't walk for 2 days, today I went to the gym and did some curls...

hopefully I can be back to normal from Monday....

good luck OP

How the hell do you manage that? Were you using 25s or something?

You will have sciatica. One of your feet and/or lower legs will be in pain or numb. That's the herniated or bulging disk pressing on the sciatic nerve. It's probably a tweaked erector. Your lower back is probably weak as shit, so consider strengthening it once you recover.

Thanks for reply. So i must have a muscle issue then ? cause my pain is localized and i dont have pain in feet on numbness at all.

yeah youll be fine, maybe do some deadlifts with the bar once the pain gets fuzzy for high reps to get some blood in the area and prevent scarring, which could lead to long term issues.

could be a slipped disk. literally one wrong move could nick your spinal cord and paralyze you from that point down. i would see a doctor/ER immediately

I have a bulged disc had it since November. Does swimming accelerate the healing.

Cardio does. I don't think swimming in particular makes a big advantage over spinning etc.

I ruptured my L4-L5 in September deadlifting. The pain was incredible. But the sciatica did not appear until two weeks later when I suddenly developed drop foot in my left foot (I woke up and couldn't flex my foot upward, it had been normal before going to bed). Just wanted to let it be known that sciatica is not an immediate thing necessarily. And if it's a ruptured disc it's actually a chemical reaction caused by your immune system responding to the disc fluid that leaked out. It damages the nerve and causes pain.

Don't rupture a disc. It fucking sucks.

>rupture

Wew lad, my condolences.

I had something happen 2 months ago. My doctor literally said "Seems minor, take some ibuprofen and wait a few weeks". It sucked and continued sucking, and still sucks now. But most of the back pain has gone away, as well as most of the sciatica. All that is left is my hip muscles being sore as motherfuckers and one back muscle that is eternally spasmed, going to go to PT to see if I can get that to go away.

I've had this weird pain on the left side of my lower back for a few days (same place as left hand of OPs image) It doesn't hurt all the time, but every random step causes that spot to go numb for like a quarter of a second, and it's always when i step with my left leg, what could this be anons? i don't really do any heavy lifting but i do a lot of hiking
