back pain
I pulled a muscle in my lower back on Easter morning doing bent over rows with a straight bar weighted to 130 lbs. I had to stay in bed for for four days but it is getting better. When can I work out again or should I just go very light? I have two weeks of physical therapy that my doctor subscribed for me starting next week. If anyone has experienced this injury before please let me know how you recovered.

everyones body is differnet.. the back sucks when trying to heal it cause even when you think its helaed, its weak and the slightest jerk or mis-form can send it back into the same problem... definietly take it light and try to do exercises that dont put too much strain on it..

As I learned from painful personal experience, coming back too early from an injury is the worst thing you can do - you will be much better off erring on the side of caution and taking a few days longer than absolutely necessary to return.
The back is involved in excercising just about every body part. Even when you do arms, you tend to clench your back muscles and if you have a recovering back, that will be enough to send it into spasms. Make absolutely sure that no daily activity at home or work causes you the slightest discomfort before returning to the gym. For example, can you get in and out of bed, sit in a chair and jump out of it, and get in and out of a car without any pain or discomfort? If you get to a point that you are not performing any of these activities gingerly, you are probably ready to go. My rule of thumb is that I am good to go when I foget I had an injury and do something really rapid like jump out of my chair and it doesn't hurt. Good luck!

this has helped me, I read it in a medical journal: ...shorter hamstrings have a direct correlation to low back pain, and low back pain correlates to shorter hamstrings....i.e. stretch your hams! It did make my back pain go away. after an acute injury, give it some rest...
