So i was doing leg press with only 250kg down to 50kg drop set only made it to 100kg when I get this sharp pain in the back of my neck and jaw that was 30 min ago I'm still sitting down at the gym and it hurts like hell . My Partner wants me to go to the hospital but I said I'll wait untill she is finished in the hopes it would just go away but no change yet so fucking pissed off
End rant
So who else seems to get injured all the time at the gym ?
45 deg full ROM leg press?
If yes, could possibly be a pinched nerve. Because the low back and abs cannot properly support the trunk the lower back can round and tuck under. Doesn't need a whole lot of weight, just a split second in a bad position. A good mate who used to have a lot of trouble with rounding the lower back on a bunch of movements ended up with a herniated disc and pinched nerve L5-S1.
Go to a doctor, this is the sort of thing that pays when you err on the side of caution. I've rehabbed disc problems twice and I don't ever want to again.
Thanks for all the reply's
After about 40 minutes the pain went and now it just feels tight around my neck so i think i just strained my neck maybe i was pushing my head back into the pad to hard ?
i chose not to go to the doc's just yet so im home with ice and pain killers. if its no better by tomorrow ill go to the doc's (not a place i like to go to lol )

Was going through this shit (injuries) all last year.
Have learned and training smarter now. I don't push the limits, and don't over do it any more. Seems to be working so far. Sometimes feel like a wimp, but in the end my gains are better as I don't get injured, and my lifts are still half decent.
And best of all the workouts are better.
Was it really painful? Do you still have a stiff sore neck with limited movement and pain? You may have experienced a neck sprain/rye neck. Can be extremely painful but rest/painkillers/anti-inflams and you should be fine in a day or so.

The trick is how do you know the limits or when you are about to over do it at the time.
I really struggle to think of any injury I've done that even now with hindsight how I would of done it any different at the time.
