Pulled muscle or disc issue?

So I just got a new driver and took a few rips with it in the back yard.  No warm up or anything.  On the third swing i felt a sharp pain in my lower back and could hardly stand up to walk.   Im hoping its just a strained back muscle and not disc.  
 

Anyone else go thru something similar?  

 

 

... It is usually a disc issue. I have had 2 back surgeries on a degenerative disc, mostly the result of blind side hits playing QB through college. The good news is the muscles/ligaments will protect the body and cause spasms to prevent you from doing further damage, so there is a good chance the pain is coming from those muscles/ligaments. If you do stretching and strength training exercises you can prevent this from happening. Much like recommending lessons, I highly recommend having it looked at and going to PT. They can give you the exact kind of advice and exercises to make sure it doesn't happen again. I would add mine is an educated guess and advice from an Ortho is always best. I always feel like having a Dr tell me there is nothing seriously wrong is the best money I can spend, but of there is a problem you catch it before it becomes worse. Good luck.

Thank you. The scary part was the pain and not being able to stand up/walk. Ive iced it all night and can at least walk a bit today.  Worse thing is getting a new driver and just looking at it 😒

Sounds like disc.  I've had the same thing happen a long time ago.  Since then I never just swing full out from the get go.  I recommend stretching your spine and back muscles first then start off with half swings and work your way up to full swings to lessen the chances of messing up your back.

Sounds like it might be a herniated disc.  Go see a doctor.

If it radiates down the legs or the arms then it is a disc.  If it just hurts then it’s just muscle.

 

I should say, that’s how I decide if I go to a doctor to get it looked at.  It’s not a hard and fast rule.

Agreed, I had back pain and muscle spasms all through my teens, 20s and early 30s. But it was when the pain stopped going away and then the radiculopathy showed up (radiating pain down my left leg) that I thought something was wrong. Herniated disc - need a fusion but will be back!

 

Ice, rest and stretch. It should go away, even disc issues can go away with rest, ice and stretching the right way... if its constant or something feels like its radiating - go see someone (sooner rather than later). Good luck and enjoy the new driver!
