You have messed up the muscles in your lower back, and possibly pinched a bundle of nerves!. Sit on ice packs (Frozen peas work great too)!.!.!. This could bring some swelling down and relieve pressure on the nerves!. Go to the ER!. You are going to have to get this checked out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Chances are that you simply over strained the muscle!. If you had torn it, you would have felt it right away, while you were lifting!. Often times when we don't stretch before we lift heavy things, the muscle is cold and gets pulled really easily!. I would suggest putting hot compresses and stretching it gently!. But be very easy with it!. It will take time to heal!. Too much stretching will just prolong the pull!. **L Www@Answer-Health@Com
