I got onto a rowing machine at the college gym, strapped my feet into position, and then realised the person using it before me had left the handlebar up. I made a disgruntled statement about this so the student rowing next to me heard, and as I was making a deliberate futile attempt at displaying how I couldn’t reach the handlebar, the large student rowing on my left gave me a sudden push forward on the middle left of my back without warning. I was already leaning forward and felt (not heard) two crackles to the left of my lower back in the hipline region. I’ve never felt crackles there before, but it did not hurt. Afterward I grabbed the handlebar by reaching from the side and rowed for a few seconds before getting off to check myself out. About three weeks later I noticed mild pain in my left calf muscle when pushing off, it is three months later now and it's still there. I also get some left and right SI and hip joint pain, but it could be all unrelated. Do you think I need an MRI?
