Any body had this, how did you overcome it?
I can't believe it.
I was just doing a single squat with a weight of 60kg down to a milk crate yesterday, and just before the bottom, I felt a sharp paralising pain in my lower back, my form was slow and perfect.
It left me a little stunned/paralised for a minute or 2 and I couldn't straighten my back for a few minutes.
Went to the physio same day and said it seems like a disc problem.
My lower back rounds inwards a bit, and I think I pinched a nerve or something.
I've had a sore lower back a few times before when squatting too low and my back rounds at the bottom, but that definately didn't happen this time.
Now I'm worried it will come back again.
First time I ever had this problem was doing a vertical leg press about 5 years ago, and it was bad like this.
However, that was due to back rounding as my knees pretty much went to chest.
This time happened because of back rounding inwards rather than outwards.
It seems the only way to stop it is to keep lower back perfectly flat.
Need more flexibility.
Any advice on recovering from this, still painfull now, and rehabilitation exercises or stretches to become more flexible and how to avoid it happening again?
Thanks
