Hello all, about 2.5 months ago I severely injured my lower back during some rotational land mine squat presses. I was somewhat new to these type of exercises and was most likely not maintaining proper form. I felt a “pop” in my lower back during the descent part of the movement and by the 3rd day my lower back area was in agony.
Fast forward 2 weeks from the day of the injury and the pain lessened but my lower back felt very tender. Went to a chiropractor and he diagnosed me with an inflamed disc. Prior to this injury I didn’t have a history of any spine issues.
Today, I still feel discomfort in my lower back, but am able to move and do very light KB swings and body weight TGU’s. The pain seems to be triggered by heavy load and excessive spine flexion.
My question to you all: Has anybody experienced disc issues in the lumbar region? What was the injury? How long did it take to recover? Were you able to return to pre-injury conditions?
I really miss doing my S&S sessions and hope that I’ll heal up 100% soon.
Thanks,
