Auto Injury

Rear-ended on 495 Thursday night.
Felt fine at the time of the accident, but an hour later pain ensued and it hasn't stopped.
An intermittent pain envelopes the lower back while there's a consistent pain bottom right of center, right above my ass. I don't know what it means.
Medical opinion is to come back in two weeks if the pain is still present.

Tried some light experimental deadlifting and found myself weakened.
Earlier this past week, before the accident, my working set of 5 reps was with a weight of either 410 or 415lbs and felt fine. (I think I could have gone heavier, but I was pushing for slow and steady progress).

I tried to push myself through a light 320lb set, but this was the weight where the pain really felt aggravated so I stopped.

Hopefully this will clear up soon and the path to the 500lb deadlift will continue.
