So im a fatty who finally decided to start working out like a month ago.
> Anyways, finals week was last week, and I didnt really exercise at all, and instead sat in the library from morning until evening studying like crazy.
So a day or two after I finished, I realized my lower back was hurting like crazy when I sat down in a chair, and then the pain went away a little later as I got up and walked around, only to flare up again when I sat down. This has been going on for 5 days now, until today. Today I got up and did what I had to do around the house, I even washed and detailed my car which required all kinds of different turns and positions that couldve hurt my lower back, but nothing happened. Then, as I was walking down the stairs about an hour ago, I felt my lower back tighten up instantly. It hurt so badly and I immediately got down in the floor to do some stretches and sit ups.
Now, im laying in my bed because I can barely bend over or sit down without my whole lower back exploding in pain.
Plz help me, what can I do to make it go away?
Any suggested stretches or exercises?
I'll probably go to the gym 2 hours from now to see if weight lifting will offer any relief.

Go see an orthopedic surgeon. Now. I got injured in my lower back a few years ago and am just now getting back into lifting because I was retarded and would rather shop around for answers on forums and Mongolian basket-weaving boards instead of actually seeing a doctor. GO SEE A DOCTOR. Don't mess with your spine and expect to get away with it.

>DOMS
You didn't fuck anything up lmao.
It can last up to a week
When I first started deadlifts my lower back was tight for about a week. Just keep eating well, get enough water and protein and gently stretch the muscles every now and then. Hot water and massaging also helps, if you're gay.

Ya but I havent been deadlifting.
I have mostly been swimming and occasionally doing upper body.
I do believe its my lower back muscles and not my spine, because I can feel them spazzing out when I bend over.

>pain is on your spine
drop whatever you're doing and go to the hospital right now
>pain is on the sides of your lower back
completely normal, google "DOMS"
do your next workouts as scheduled, force yourself to work through them. pain will be much lower in a week or so and completely gone in a month at most.

Thanks for giving literally no information on whether you had just started lifting or tried to ego-lift beyond your capabilities and fucked up your back that way.
OP is
>fatty
>just started
Of course the muscles are going to be sore when you first start. Heavy weights and muscles which you have never used before, duh.

>he thinks DOMS means being unable to bend over
You will snap your shit deservedly

If it is DOMS, and I think it is, what low weight exercises can I do to strengthen my lower back without stressing it out even further? Should I do rows?
