I have a back injury from weight lifting. what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Give it time as most: Resolve even if due to a disc herniation. Modify activites to reduce stresses on your lower back, keep trim, don't smoke but continue with exercise but more with flexibility, cardiovascular routines and core strenghtening while laying off the weight lifting until the pain has resolved. Over the counter medication can help if no contraindications as can local therapies like heat and massage.
