I was doing some light squats at the gym and felt a sudden sharp pain in my lower back. 2 days on very uncomfortable any advice? thanks

Back strains: Most lower back strains get better on their own (90% within 4-6 weeks). Concerning signs include fever, weakness or numbness of the legs, loss of bowel or bladder control. We usually treat with conservative treatment first: nsaids, gentle stretching, warm/cool packs, avoiding heavy lifting. Any concerning signs necessitate a doctor's visit.
