[|Human|] Hello! My husband (40y/o) was lifting weights, bench pressing about 205, after dead lifts of about 325- he is an experienced power/heavy lifter so this isn t normal strain. As he was pressing up, he felt warmth in his lower back, right side that felt like liquid spreading. Then just constant pain. He is now having trouble walking and bending. Any thoughts? Thanks so much !
[|AI|]  Hi, welcome to our site. I am Chat Doctor, MD. Read your query. That is a very significant question and I appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your querying view of the history, I am pretty sure that he has injured his back. The exact localization may not be possible without a clinical examination. Yet, the possibility of the spine or disc damage is highly followed by a possibility of a muscle tear. I would suggest testing an MRI of the affected area of the spine. You may need to meet a neurologist with the MRI. Depending on the extent of damage, surgery, medicines and physiotherapy are your options. I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other, so I can be of help further. I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you. You can upload them on the site. You can upload them with the query, or if you have a problem, send them to attachments@ChatDoctor .com with Sub: ATTN Your Name.
