Good advice Vegas... Lol
Don't listen to some random bloke on the net with a "she'll be right mate" attitude. I battled through the pain in my lower back and made mine worse, haven't squatted in 6 months now, just starting to come good now, don't mess around with your back.

a more info Vegas like how long it took you to get back to squatting etc, have your injuries given you any recurring problems?
OK then, poor choice of words on my part, I'll try again, shit post in general, shit attitude.Please tell me where I gave advice....
My lower back gradually got stiff, then my form started to stuffer, I lost all mobility, I couldn't hit depth in my squats properly while maintaining form, strength went in the toilet, my core/lower back felt very weak etc.what did you do to your back Morgan?
a week ago I popped my back while doing squats,
was on light weight warming up, 90kgs, pretty sure I got lazy and didnt have my mid section tight/sloppy form
been to the physio and I've got a Herniated Disc.
anyways my question is has anyone had similar injuries and were you able to get back into squats deadlifts etc.
See a Physio or specialist. Fair chance you will be fine and it will fix itself but you want to see someone.
See if you can find stuff on the net written by Dr Stuart McGill. He is the top expert on backs. I got one of his books when I stuffed my back and followed what it said and fixed it. I remember it saying something like 50% of people by 30 have a herniated disk, most without any pain at all. So it is possible to fix it.
Also written in the book is something about the reverse hyper and how it can actually aggravate some back injuries.
A "medical professional" covers far too many occupations, it would even include a physio.I said "get it checked out by a medical professional" that's a spinal doctor, or at the very least an excellent osteopath, a physio isn't in the same league.
My female friend strained her back while throwing up with morning sickness, apparently she had a herniated/bulging disk according to her physio, funny, her back is 100% Again 7 days later... Physio's ain't worth shit in most cases.

In my experience osteos have had zero effect, and any Physio that diagnoses a herniated discs without scans isnt worth a pinch of salt either.
As for your "spinal doctor" my neck is so bad that the neurosurgeon I seen wanted to operate "but not until you're about 50"- I was 23 at the time. Chiro fixed it in two sessions, and that was 5 years ago.
cheers for the info Bazza,
currently seeing a Physio and Im taking all his advice,
wanted a lifters perspective experiences etc.
any more info on your back injury/repair
