Pain in my back

[kandaandm]

I don't know what happened...I was just laying in bed. I moved to get out of bed and my lower back spasmed and now I can even stand straight without extreme pain...if I massage my lower back as I stand I can slowly stand straight...Now I'm laying in bed hoping for a speedy recovery. I don't even know why it happened, but I'm hoping it will go away within a couple days.

It will take months to fully recover.

C'mon now why would you say that.

Honestly, i hear this 80% of the time as for the reason patients come to see me...."But i didn't do anything"....(im a chiropractor). It could be a number of things but lets start with the simple things to do and go from there.

First, start icing your back 20 min on/ 20 min off. Do this a few times, wait a couple hours and do it again. Do this for 2-3 days.

Second, take some sort of ibuprophen, alieve, motrin.

Third, if someone is willing have them lightly massage the affected muscle.]

Fourth, go see your massage therapist or chiropractor ASAP. If you can do this and your in severe pain go to the ER but I would do this as a last resort.

Try these things out and keep us posted.

Thanks alot ....I appreciate the help...this just happened a few hours ago. I'm going to ice it now and then have my girlfriend massage the area lightly.
