Pinched nerve caused by workout
Hello, a couple of weeks back, I was working out and I messed up my back. I thought it was just muscle soreness, but a week later it was still not better. I went to the ER and they told me it was a pinched nerve. Has anyone experienced this and what did you do to heal yourself. I was given muscle relaxers and am taking them but I don’t feel a difference. I want to get back to my workout routine but I’m not able to because of the pain.

Thank you so much for your help. My pain is in the lower back but radiates down to my leg. I’ve been stretching and you’re right that it does help. I’ll continue with stretching and will stay away from working out for now. Thank you again
