At least 2 of those times has been during bent over rows and low weight. Yesterday my warm up of 95 lbs was lifted off the rack and I felt the light “pop”, mind you I max around 245 so this wasn’t heavy. I only have pain when engaging my lower back ie rolling around in bed or physically bending with my back.

massages don’t work
adjustments don’t work
hanging upside down table doesn’t work
anti inflammatories don’t work

laying on a roller has the sensation of a good massage but once I try to stand up I can’t for 15-20 seconds as usual. The only thing that helps is time, generally 10-14 days of this misery.

anyone experience anything similiar? Tips or tricks? Thanks guys
I had the EXACT same thing happen a few years back. Could not stand up straight for days. I was in the shower and noticed that if I jammed my fist/knuckle right where it hurt I could instantly straighten up. I cranked on it and felt/heard it slide back into place. It was instant relief.

It sounds like a subluxed facet joint in your spine. Gotta find a way to work it back in. I’d lay on the floor on your back with a tennis ball right where it hurts and start cranking.

Good luck, pain sucks!
