What should I do for a sharp, pinching back pain that hurts when I bend down, which started after lifting heavy weights at the gym and has not improved with rest or Moov?
Lifting heavy weights can sometimes cause acute muscle strains or joint irritation. Since rest and Moov have not helped, it is best to avoid bending or heavy lifting for now. Try applying an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to the area for 15 minutes to help ease the sharp sensation. I highly recommend visiting a doctor or physical therapist for a physical evaluation. They can safely examine your back and may suggest oral anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen. Please seek immediate medical care if you experience numbness, tingling, or pain traveling down your legs.
