Was setting up for some deadlifts at the gym and wrecked my lower back. Just bent over to set the barbell on the ground and felt a hitch.

Hoped it would go away overnight with some pain meds and a muscle relaxer but it's worse today. I can barely fucking walk. Fuck me.

Any tips on preventing lower back injuries? I have been trying to do back extensions on a machine. Probably not as often as I should I guess.

Did something similar last month simply moving from one position to another sitting on the couch. It took a couple weeks to repair. WTF is all I can say. I lived on tylenol and just kept moving very carefully so the muscles wouldn't continue to stiffen. Mild heat.

Check out some physical therapy/back strengthening vids on the jewtubes pertinent to what part of your back is injured.

First time I ever hurt it I was scooting a chair in. Something I'd done tens of thousands of times before and since. But that time... The drive back home from college was not a fun one. I could barely walk for almost a solid week.
