16. i may have a slipped disk/ pinched nerve and i did gymnastics anyway. pain worsened in lower back, tight feeling. doctor on sat. immediate danger?

Injury: If you are experiencing only pain with no loss of function and you are being seen in 2 days - that is likely sufficient if pain is moderate to mild. However, please don't do any more gymnastics until this has been evaluated. Take care.

Unlikely: Unlikely it is dangerous to the extent you can't wait till Saturday to be seen. One if the most common causes of back pain in gymnasts is known as a spondylolysis.
