I play football every week, but since the game last week i have had back ache. I am due to play tonight and my back does feel a bit better.
Should i play or not?

Go out and play. you deserve it. you're such a wonderful man that eventhough you back aches, you should go out and play. Just don't blame yourself if you get permanent spinal dislocation which would lead to permanent paralysis and you permanently tied to a wheelchair for the rest of your life

Hey buddy, there's some good advice offered here. I have been on crutches for 11 years not through sport, through an accident. Believe me you don't want that to happen. There is another aspect to this. If you go out and play and you permanently damage your spine, there's going to be a big problem besides the pain aspect. You can't sue for damages to assist you in paying for medical costs etc because you have played the sport in less than acceptable condition.

Possibly not, just because your injury is feeling a bit better it doesn't mean that you should risk making it work.
Do some light safe exercise and play next week if it's all gone.

Do not play,get it checked out first there is always the next game.Your back may feel better but have you exercised since or played.if back problem has not resolved itself properly you could make situation worse and miss more games.so best to play safe and get it checked out before playing again.

No! Give it another week to make sure it is better. By playing tonight you might make it worse and then have to miss a greater number of weeks.
If it does not get better, may I suggest you go see an osteopath who will be able to help you.

Do not play. Take a good rest lying down flat on your back.

play it and stop when it aches again. sometimes the aching are due to over stressing the muscles or misbalance. you'll find out what's the cause if you play.

No, you could do more damage.
Wait until your back feels strong again, if it does not soon, see your doctor.

you should not play, unless your Dr. says it is OK, if you play you may hurt you back more than it is now
