Injury worsening symptoms?

[Cdsnuts]

Hey guys,
Been lurking on the forum a little while and doing the protocol. Tl;dr, I was doing deadlifts with some shitty form at home and I've hurt my lower back, now it seems like my numbness and ED are worse than before, but it could just be the ordinary ups and downs of the condition. At the same time though I don't want to dismiss what could be a big deal, but it's hard to address this with doctors who basically think I'm delusional anyway and won't grasp the issue, I myself can't distinguish between PSSD- which they won't acknowledge- and exacerbating muscle damage. Any advice?

If you have health insurance go and make sure there is no damage to the muscle. Most likely, you just pulled/strained something. That injury wouldn't give you worsening numbness and ED, so it's most likely unrelated.

And a word of advice. Until you have your strength up and are making progress in the gym, skip the deadlifts. They are a fantastic exercise for producing all kinds of good hormones but they are very technical lifts and if not done with precision will lead to injury....There are plenty of other leg movements you can do to work out the wheels without risking a bad injury.
