Lower back pop

This morning I was out running and came home to do my stretching as normal. While I was on my back with my knee to my chest I twisted to the side and my lower back popped. This normally feels good, but today not so much. Now all day today I have gotten an unwarranted erection. Could I have pinched something?

Are you having any problems with losing your urine or bowels since this happened?  

Any numbness or tingling, loss of sensation anywhere, or loss of movement anywhere?

If your erection doesn't go down after 4 hours, you NEED to go to the ER or you will get too much blood to the penis and you can get nerve damage.  They may have to drain the blood out as well.  Do not wait!  Having this happen when your back pops is not normal either.  So you need to seek medical attention, so go to the ER now.

Let us know how you are doing.

If you're still having problems with having an intermittent erection and loose bowels, then I would consider going to the ER.  Are your bowel movements in voluntary or voluntary?  Regardless, the symptoms you describe are abnormal and I would seek medical attention now rather than wait. Keep your appointment with your doctor anyway since the ER will be referring you to your doctor for aftercare.  Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you.

No, I have not lost any sensations to any part of my body. The erection is not a constant either, but comes on frequently and for no reason. As far as the bowels? Yes, I have had loose bowels ever since yesterday after this happened. I have made an appointment for to see my Doctor, but it isn't until tomorrow. I still debate ER?
