Hi

I am also a bodybuilder and had a clinic dealing with atletes.

I had a very similar problem, as you train with heavy weights i assume that you abs and lower back muscles are very strong as well as your legs.

I suggest rest for a while, anti inflammatories and maybe muscle relaxants.

You dont have to stop lifting or even stop lifting heavy weights, you just need to adjust your training accordingly. I still lift heavy and have a L4 and L5 prolapse.

I would not worry about it too much at this stage but if the pain continues for more than a week then you should see your doctor and get him to recommend you to a physio who has experience with athletes.


Let me know how you get on
