What Causes Painful Muscles While Lifting Weights?

my T6-7 T7-8 is buldging and if I do not do anything its just that area that hurts but if I do any kind of lifting, cleaning etc the muscles to the right flare up and hurt real bad as well, is there any reason that is happening and when I take a deep breath I can feel it in my chest

Neurologist,  's  Response
The weight causes undue pressure on the spinal column which may in turn cause mechanical compression of the nerves in the thoracic spine region which relay signals to the areas of the upper back and chest region. Unfortunately, this will continue to be the case until you address those bulging disks, reduce the amount of weight you lift, or retire from the sport. No other options....oh of course, there are pain medications but these are poorly effective to PREVENT pain and really not designed for that purpose so you'd have to take a lot of drugs on a constant basis that could affect you in other unwanted ways.

If this information has been useful to you then, your written feedback as well as a STAR RATING to the question would be greatly appreciate.

If you would like to ask more questions in the future then, you may contact me at bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi.
