(35F) I most likely injured my lower back doing RDLs on Mar 23. I'm no rookie at the gym, I've been going for decades but had taken a 6 month break. Today is Apr 20, so it's been exactly 4 weeks and it hasn't gotten better. At all. I saw a chiropractor on Apr 1 but it didn't help much. She did say it's likely an inflamed disc but I would obviously need to get an MRI done to be sure. I'm between jobs right now and don't have health insurance but oh boy, does it hurt! Has anyone been through the same? I read that the disc usually gets better on its own but I've seen zero improvement so far. It hurts when I bend down, it hurts when I'm sitting, it hurts when I sneeze (!!!). Oy! TIA
