I'm 26 years old. I was on the second-to-last repetition on my final set of curls (free weights, standing bar curl), and I was struggling. So, like an idiot, I dipped my knees, pulled back my upper body, and tried to swing the bar up to chest level. I've always been such a stickler for gym safety, I don't know what I was thinking.
Anyway, it hurt intensely when it occurred, and though I gave it a couple months to heal, I still get quite a bit of pain on most days. It's about the middle of my lumbar region, though the pain radiates as far as my left hip on bad days.
Yes, I know I should have scheduled an appointment with the doctor a long time ago, but I have to admit, I've been putting off the visit mostly because I don't want to hear what he has to say. Still, I've swallowed my pride and made my appointment. So what can I expect him tell me I've done to myself?
