Well, doggone. On Wednesday, while warming up with 10-pound dumbbells, my lower back seized so badly, I didn’t know how I’d move. I eventually relaxed enough to take a hot shower and drive home. I went to a local ER and the doctor, in all his brilliance, denied me an MRI after I requested one, lied and said X-rays show herniated discs, and diagnosed me with “acute lower back pain”. Yeah, that’s why I went to the ER! I’m following up with my primary care doc though, which will hopefully lead to discovering what’s going on. In the meantime, the most I can do is walk my dog. Good grief.

Thanks @throwawayfitness I know you’ve had to come back from injuries recently, too. They happen, but hopefully less so as we learn and adjust.

I think a fitness forum needs an “oh no!” button for injuries, as they come up so often here and get right in the way of everything we’re trying to do.

I’m so sorry this has happened. What protocol are you following for it for now? I like: start with 2 Aleve, then reduce to 1 and stay on them every 12 hours (not as needed - keep the anti-inflammation going) with alternated heat and ice. (But of course, I’m not a doctor.)

Or better yet, speaking of doctors, did the ER doc give you steroids or muscle relaxers for it?
