Subject: RE: Lower Back Injury
Body:

I had a similar injury in high school/first year of college. Overextended my back doing 200's and felt something shift. It ended up being a bulging disc in my lower spine (god knows how that happened) and I had pain for about a year.

Your symptoms sound a little more like a muscle issue. If you had a disc problem then touching your toes would likely aggravate it as well as any flexion of the back. Disc pain (actually it's nerve pain the disc is pushing on) is kinda hard to explain and pin point and the area of perceived pain can change over time. If it's a muscle issue then direct palpation of the area will hurt. This won't happen if its a spine problem. Muscle issues shouldn't last too long. If it's a disc issue you need help asap. Leaving it alone is a very bad idea.
