help me, mr
does it hurt? where does it hurt? can you move? is your range of motion limited? is there swelling?
>>35500337
You're lucky af if it was a muscle and not your disc. And stretching after that is the worst you can do, because you can make it even worse by adding pressure there.
Put some cold on it, lie down and go see a doc if the pain radiates to your legs / glutes

also try to diagnose which particular muscle it is that you pulled. look up stretches for the quadratus lumborum and try them carefully, if they trigger the muscle up then you basically need to do a better valsalva in the future by squeezing your abs harder and not overextending your back as hard.

it hurts only when i move my back quickly. left side, mid back. yes i can move. range of motion is fine. no swelling.

i'm going to ice it now. is there any need to see a doctor if you know it's 100% a muscle injury?
>>35500396
thanks for the advice, ill look now

sounds ok, just ice it for the next 2 days and take a 2 week rest to let it heal
you can take ibuprofen to counter inflammation but I've heard it's bad for recovery so don't go overboard

stretch a ton. I'm assuming you're pretty young and you probably pulled a muscle. As long as you pulled it and didn't actually hurt your spine you're golden. Just deadlift smarter next time.

this is me being greedy but if it doesn't hurt by next monday, do you think i'm good to go?
>>35500493
>stretch a ton

>>35500496
If you know you're being greedy, then why do you push it? Take two weeks
