Sometime last week I was doing shoulder presses, and seeing as how they are behind my neck I was sitting strait up with a bit of pressure on my lower back. After that day my lower spine has been killing me. It feels like my vertebrae are smashing in on each other (though I doubt it). And today I was bending over a bit (not a whole lot by any means) and I almost fell over from the pain. It was enough to stop my vision for a moment. Do you think that the pain could be caused by the shoulder presses? And If so, what can I do to avoid future injury?

yes you could have damaged your spine. go see your doctor for a check up and don,t do any exercises till you have been given the all clear. you could end up doing yourself some real harm. before you exercise again get some advice from a trainer.
