ok it happens from time to time at first i thought it was just mild back strain, and on some occasions it probably was. But after a few reoccuring issues, and the current one i went and got it checked out properly. Because untill you know exactally what is wrong, you cant fix it.
first time I ever starined my back was 18 years ago, swinging 20kg bags of spuds up onto a bench
Then I aggravted it about 10 years ago while working in a coal lab, lugging 30kg drums of coal around.
Then maybe 6 years ago i got shooting pains in my back, hips, while I was sitting on a boat fishing, this was diagnosed as a muscle spasm, and for a while everytime i exercised those muscles they would spasm again.
last year i had a few back niggles, a few laid me up for a day or two, before christmas i was shatted by back pain could not move for 3 days, 4th days i could stand and walk kinda, by day 7 all the discomfort was gone. This was domne by leaning forward during a 140kg squat, and mongreling it up rather than yeilding to poor form.
Now the current issue, maybe 2 months after the last, again with a 140 squat, and poor form leaning to far forward. The common thing here apart from the weight was that they were both earlyish morning sessions, ~9-10.. A week earlier i easily did a 150 squat no worries at all. at a night traing session
so maybe its a warmup, limber, stretched thingy, i allways feel piss week in the mornings.
Anyways back to the point.
My current issue was at first thought to be an SI injury, x-rays show a slight abnormality on the r side, but to be sure doc had get a CT aswell.
Ct report showed I have degerative changes, in my SI joint that are normal for my age group.
The more serious issue, was that between my L3, L4, L5, S1 vertabrae I have buldging disks, my sacrum angle is a bit out, and i have degenerative changes, to the surfaces of my lower lumber vertabrae.
The disks in the L4 to L5, and L5 to S1, spaces, are protruding more on the right hand side, placeing pressure on the nerves leaving my spine, and causing a lot of referred lower back pain..
It has been two weeks, i still cant bend forward very much, cant load up my lower back, or stretch my hammies, .
SOOOOOO
has anyone else had a buldging disk?
what treatments were you given?
Could you squat or deadlift ever again?
how long did your recovery take?
Does anyone in the Brisbane area know a good sports orientated spinal / orthopaedic specialist.
