Deadlifting about 6 weeks ago and felt a pull in my left lower erector area. Felt like the muscle gave way some (tore?). I put the weight down and took a few minutes. The slight pain was acute to the area, no shooting pain down the leg or anything. Continued a bit of my workout. Some definite initial discomfort but nothing bad, even pulled 405lbs for 1 about 5 min later. Decided to not do anymore.
Since then its obviously been irritated. Ive reduced my working weight, sets and reps in an attempt to get things back in order. No pain with it at this point, never really had pain I could just tell it was irritated/inflamed. The main thing is that the next day or maybe two days after ive had a bit of tingling in my left foot under my toes. Ive experienced this some before with similar strains, so my sciatic may just run near this and since it is inflamed it is pushing on the nerve?
6 weeks later and the tingly is still there in the mornings when i get out of bed and sometimes after i sit for a while (like at work) or do something explosive like jump/sprint etc. No pain in my lower back at all, though its a little tight. I can lift and im about 75% back to normal, but Im wondering if the tingling is something I should be concerned about? And, if the lower back rehab maybe would fit? Since i don’t really have pain im not sure how best to proceed.
Thanks.
