Lower back pain to the side, radiates down anterior upper thigh
Hi everyone,
I am on the NLP, 23 y/o male, 96kg. Squat last workout was 125kg, deadlift 132kg (still trying to fix step 4 of the setup).
I did my last good workout on 8th October. Did squats (link here), had a bit of soreness in the lower back, not at an alarming level by any means.
Then when I did my deadlifts, someone interrupted my set at the first rep, I got pissed off and did 6 reps afterwards (stupid).
During the deadlift set, I had some pain in my abductors (right near the hip, on the lateral right side). Not too much, but discomforting. Gutted through it and finished the set.
The pain increased slowly however, and after about 15 mins the back was quite sore, hurt the most sitting down (which I have to do for a long time due to my work).
It hurts mainly on the right side of my lower back, and on the front side of my thigh. Sometimes it radiates down to the mid of the tibia on the right anterior side.
Pain level is not much, just irritates me constantly.
In the last week I recovered well, so I did some lighter squats yesterday, was able to go up to 110kg (100, 100, 110). Little or no pain during the workout. Same for the deadlift.
However, post workout the pain came back (made worse by sitting down in the night). Today I am nearly fine again.
I am quite confused, the radiating pain seems like a nerve issue, but pain level isn't much and I don't want to stop working out. Due to the (man made) pandemic, I can't go to a doctor, because obviously thats where you die of COVID.
He anyway will tell me to stop working out. So could you folks please help me with this? Should I keep working out, or take another week off? Is there some rehab exercise I should do?
Thanks!
