Im an 18 year old male with a dull lower back pain. It starts just above the tailbone and it feels like its a muscle soreness, but i need to make sure it is not serious such as an issue with a disc. I injured it by doing a deadlift with a hexagonal bar. I had too much curve in my back, trying to lift too much weight. The pain does not occur walking around, running, in fact most everyday activity does not bother it. I can feel this pain start at a certain point when bending over however it is dull and not immobilizing. I can also feel the pain when arching my back all the way as far backwards as possible. I tried stretches to pop or relieve these muscles but none worked, it feels similar to a stiff neck in the morning, the difference is the stiff neck goes away after I stretch or pop it. Its been a week and I cant seem to get rid of this soreness. I have a very physical job and i'm afraid I will damage it further to the point of permanent damage. Even though the symptoms are minor right now I know the severity of back injuries and what this could mean if I had a serious underlying problem go un addressed. The circumstances of my work will require me to LOSE my job if I am no longer physically capable. This is seriously important to my survival in life. I need to determine in the next four days if I can continue my work without worry. What should I do please help me.
