Yep.

I was busting up concrete one day. Picked up a 120 lb. piece of concrete and twisted at the waist instead of turning my feet to put it in the truck.

I understand that pain fully.

Seriously, it took 10 minutes to crawl to the bathroom and 10 to crawl back. I did this for a week. There was no way I could upright myself. Breathing hurt.

I used a workout ball, those large ones, to roll my back and a variety of stretches until I worked it out. It was a pinched nerve not a tear.

You may move a certain way one day inadvertantly not thinking about it and it just pops on its own.

But yeah I can relate to the firery pain.
