I was doing heavy barbell rows last Saturday when I heard something cracking in my lower back and felt lost of strength in the left side of my lower back so I immediately dropped the weight and felt to the floor, feeling pain and tightness in the lumbar area and my spine. I thought everyone around heard the pop but that was obviously not the case.
I had no pain in the legs and I was able to move them so that was a good sign, but when I was able to stand up after 10 min, I could not lean on my left leg because I felt pain on the left side of my lower back and down my spine. When I got home I could not sit or walk properly, I was only able to lay down in a fetal position, it was a horrible night.
I've been seeing a physiotherapist since and things have improved, I can walk now but I still feel pain when leaning on my left foot. I cannot extend my left quad when seated. I don't feel pain in my spine anymore, but I can feel a muscle tear around the love handle area that is quite painful. I will be seeing a specialist tomorrow.
I wanted to know if any of you have been through a similar situation/injury in the middle of a cycle. I was having a really good bulking cycle, now I am not sure if I will be able to continue. Obviously, health is first but this sucks...
