On Saturday I was doing double backs on floor with two spotters. On one of them I forgot to untuck and land, they caught me but my neck and back jerked. After that my back hurt and was tingly a little bit. Now there is a spot right on my spine that hurts everytime I arch and something feels like it's stopping my back from arching. Does anyone know what this could be?
 
Yea i know it doesn't make sense but my coach makes everyone do them. I'm not from a usag program.

I'm pretty concerned about being made to do double backs on floor with all your coaches being inexperienced high school boys. [emoji47]

Go see a doctor. Don't take chances with back pain.

For now do not do anything that causes you to feel the pain twinge. If you have damaged your spine in any way and Yu continue to do anything that causes paid there is a good chance you will make it worse.

You need to see a doctor and you nee to get it checked fo possible fractures. It may or may not be the case but until you know if it is or isn't you need to treat it as if it is.
