A member asked:
I hurt the left side of my lower back from doing deadlifts at the gym what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: This is likely an acute sprain/strain that will take 2-6 weeks to heal. Stop doing dead lifts. You are either trying to lift too much weight or are using incorrect form to do it.
