a pulled back muscle and a pinched nerve.
Somehow yesterday I did something bad to my back. It hurts to move. I get a very sharp pain on the lower left of my back. I cannot lay without pain or sit or stand.
Any ideas???
Please don't tell me to go to the doc. I need a new heath card, and can't get one right now :)

Muscular pain is usually localized to one area and is described as aching dull pain.
Nerve pain generally radiates down the length of the nerve and is described as a burning, numbness or tingling pain.
Back pain in the lower back can also be coming from the kidney. A urinary tract infection can cause back pain.
If seeing a doctor is truly not an option, the take some Tylenol use heat and gentle stretching. If you start to have any fevers or difficulty urinating then you really should see a physician.

The Chinese and Japanese languages are actually not at all similar to each other. They are vastly more different than French and English, for instance. While there are (stereo)typical "looks" associated with Korea, China, Japan, etc., the easiest and most accurate way to distinguish between people from different East Asian countries is accent. It's just the same as for Europe, really. Although you might be able to tell a German person from a French or English person just by looking, fashion is actually a bigger clue than facial features. The real give-away is always going to be the accent. Even if you're really good at spotting ethnic features, this won't always tell you the country the person is actually from. There are for instance ethnic Koreans who were born and raised in Japan. There are also many people who don't have the typical "look" for their country. A very obvious distinction is whether or not the person speaks a tonal language. Even if you don't speak a word of Chinese, it's easy to recognize that all Chinese dialects (also Vietnamese and Thai) use variation in tone to distinguish different words. Japanese is NOT a tonal language (nor is Korean). So you can narrow things down quite a bit just by listening to tone. If you're ever just dying to know, you could just ask the person where they're from or what their ethnic background is. It's best to ask in an open-ended way ("Where are you from?") rather than guess ("Are you Japanese?"), because guessing the wrong country can sometimes cause offense.

The pain from either can be similar but pain from a pulled muscle will generally stay in your back. If it is a pinched nerve, you will have pain that radiates down your leg or arm, depending on where the pinch is. If you hurt your lower back and you do not have pain running down your leg, consider yourself blessed. I have a pinched nerve in my back (herniated disk) and it is a permanent condition.

is it the impact of a fall or some thing....is it due to some over exertion or what....some vigorous sex or what.....if its impact it may be some bruised muscle or tissue which has taken the impact....if the pain started with over lifting etc it may be a nerve pinching some where......only rest can over come the matter....in any case try taking some ibuprofen which is a pain killer as well as anti inflammatory....take some balm and gently massage as well......

Go with cold vs. heat. Or try both. But cold pack/compress will work best. This would be true especially if there's inflammation. Try a Chiropractor, usually, you can get a free consultation.

i have used aloe vera juice for pain
2 spoons of epsoms salts in a cup of green tea is also good for pain ( but stay home cos it sends u to the toilet )
relax in a hot epsoms salts bath for an hour or two
