I wouldve posted in one of the dr's q&A but it appears they have gone fishing.
Anywho this past friday I was training after 3 weeks off, got married did the honeymoon and back into the gym i went. It was a light session of chest tris and delts. Mind you the results i got within the last 3 months were amazing with help from experts on this board as well as a pro at my gym.
Well i decided on doing 15lb standing side laterals(it seems to always be the light weights). As i finished my 3rd set i bent down to place the weights onto the ground and snap, i felt the worst pain in my lower back. Hurt to breath and could not stand. The weight on my lower back was unbearable. I managed to hobble out of the gym leaning forward like an 80 year old man and drove myself home. At home my wife assisted me with ice on the lower back but after 40 minutes and no relief I decided I must go to the er. Of course the er doctor assesed as a muscle spasm, prescribed me a bunch of goodies advised me to see my primary ortho and sent me on my way.
Taking the meds makes me feels about 60% but of course im in another state of mind. Im getting haeadaches and even though i dont feel tingling in neither leg the pain is on lower right side of back, and now im getting numbness on my left hand. I pray its nothing serious. Now just yesterday i met with my ortho and he wants to let all the inflamation decrease and order an mri. In the mean time i will be doing pool therapy.
Now heres my concern, DEPRESSION is kicking in. Im 35 years old and having been training on and off for the last 10 years and I feel i have almost reached the level ive been trying to achieve and now this. My buddies say you cant be lifting so heavy anymore dude your not a kid, they dont understand. This depression is worse than going cold turkey off of gear and watching your weight drop every day. On prior mri's i have shown 4mm protrustoin btw l5-s1, i know this isnt much but like they say for some 10 mm isnt painful for some 1mm is painful. With no pain meds, the pain is unbearable, so all i do is lie around like a zombie eat sleep drink and stare at the tv.
I just hope i dont have to kiss my dreams good bye, when i was so close.
any suggestions or words of encouragements are greatly welcome.
