Squat sprain pain?

[Anonymous]

Okay so I was doing weighted squats ( just 2 kg either side, I'm totally fine with this weight) and I think my leg position was off or something but after the rep was over I had this numb kinda pain down my left leg, from the glutes down to the knee. It's been a couple of days and I've kept off doing my normal routine because whenever I walk on the left leg or put too much weight on it, it really hurts. I thought it was a sprain or something but I thought it would fade away after a while, it only feels like it's getting worse.

What should I do? I really want to get back on my fitness regime.

See a doctor. It's not likely to be anything serious, but you probably caused a muscle spasm affecting your sciatic nerve. Take plenty of alleve and switch to leg extensions for a while. Also lay off any overhead presses, even with dumbells.

maybe you have a pinched nerve or something...
go to the doctor, they'll probably be able to give you an accurate diagnosis and tell you when you can star working out again...
if you start too soon you might hurt yourself further..
