A member asked:

Should i be fine to do pullups if i tore some muscles in my lower back a month ago?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Talk to your doctor: It depends on your current level of soreness and the severity of your injury. The pullup exercise might be painful. Your doctor or physical therapist can guide you in your specific situation. If you try and it is still sore, back off and talk to your doctor.
