  • I have screwed my back (sciatic nerve or something else) on a deadlift sans belt and then aggravated carrying a suitcase. Any top tips for healing?

    Ridiculous pain in butt and down to my left ankle. A physio has given me some exercises and they may be helping a bit but not that much.

    Internet wisdom varies wildly; train through the pain (Starr method, Alan thrall) to ‘your spine is f*cked you need surgery and will never lift again.’

    Thoughts?

  • My thought is that you should see a doctor. Apparently they can offer assistance and, perhaps, medication.

    I hurt my back on Monday playing squash. I have rested since then. No squash. I have done some walking as a test and taken anti-inflammation tablets. Pain is reduced but it does not seem as bad as yours.
