“Lower Back Pain urgent or not?”
Lower back pain after deadlifting (20 years old male, physically fit). Pain is constant and hurts more when bending over. It is isolated to my lumbar region and does not spread down my legs. I had a lower back injury 2 years ago and ended up going to the ER, which was determined to be a back strain. The pain is not as intense as that, but it is still hard to walk due to the pain. I am wondering if I should continue to take advil and ice the injury for a day to see if the pain goes away, or if I need to go to urgent care right now?

That's a disc u injured
It would be better because your so young to get it fixed now.
It will only get worse as you age.
Everytime you do something to over exhurt your lowback you will have pain and may not be able to move for a while...

You can ice for 20 mins every 2-3 hours until you can see a chiropractor. A chiropractor should be able to do an exam on you to determine to cause of the pain. If there are any red flags in exam then the chiropractor will have you go to the urgent care or ER.
TRY ICE & REST or HEAT & STRETCH .
Ice and stretch. Advil slows the healing process. Find a good chiropractor and have an examination. Also check you feet. If you have pronation then this will increase the rate of low back injury.
It sound like you injured your back from deadlifting. Go see a chiropractor to be evaluated and shown how to heal and correct it.
Hello, you should get to urgent care and have films of your lumbar and
continue with ice therapy.
continue with ice therapy.
Thank you for your question. I would encourage going to a corrective care chiropractor to determine what is causing the problem. You will want to determine if it is a simple muscle strain or spinal damage. I would encourage getting xrays and not waiting it out because it can get worse fast. If you would like to schedule an appointment, please go to our website. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. www.healthfromwithinstl.com
In my opinion, I would consider getting an MRI. It could be a disc especially since you had a previous injury to the area and you were deadlifting. You are 20, and in your 30s this could lead to arthritis. Make sure you are incorporating stretches and lumbar strengthening exercises.
No you need x-rays and to be evaluated by a spine specialist like myself and then we can fix the underlying problems so it doesn’t keep happening
