You probably pulled a muscle. Or just over worked a muscle. Try getting it to relax. If it just happened ice it for 20 minutes. If it's been over 48 hrs. use heat instead. After you use heat on it try to stretch it out a bit. Take some Ibuprofen for a day or two to help relieve the inflammation and pain. If things don't seem to improve in about 3 days make an appointment with your doctor to make sure it's nothing serious.

For now, try moist heat (such as a wet towel heated in the microwave) and take some Motrin. Don't wait too long before you go to the doctor. It could be as simple as a muscle pull, but I work in orthopaedics (transcribing doctors notes) and mainly work for the spine center. I type on a lot of procedure notes, such as epidurals, spinal blocks, etc. I know by my typing that sometimes a ruptured disc can cause pain on either the right or left side. You could also have a compression fracture which a lot of people get and don't realize how severe it is. Anyhow, there are a lot of treatments out there, just find out if it doesn't get better. An orthopaedic surgeon can do more than just a simple x-ray and give you medicine - times have changed and they do a lot of nerve blocks and epidurals now that not only can help you with the pain, but the procedure also provides a lot of diagnostic information for the doctor, (example, if you get pain relief immediately, it is the anesthetic effect. If you have pain that comes back, they can determine what level of the spine may be causing the pain). Anyways, please have it checked out.

I have hurt my back many times doing my job. Went to the doctor a couple of times with no help. Doctors wont do much for a pulled back. Which sounds like what you did. Heating pads will help and rest. Maybe some pain relievers will help take the edge off. But again rest is the key,give it 3 to 4 days and you should be back to yourself again. I know it is painful, find a position that is comfortable, and chill. good luck

Chances are you pulled a muscle. This has happened to me several times in the past. I went to my chiropractor and he said stretching and icing is the best thing for it. If you bend over and touch your toes, you will feel it tightening and it may hurt, but it will loosen it. If you are afraid that you might make it worse by trying this, then go to your local chiropractor and it takes 10 minutes tops for him/her to fix it. It feels great afterwards! Good luck!

Woh, you might have strained or pulled some muscles & ligaments. If the pain is pretty sharp & acute, go see a doctor right away. Or if its just some nagging kind of pain, you can opt to go see a physiotherapist or get treatment from a body therapist skilled in soft tissue injury, etc :) Feel free to email me : therapy4therapists@yahoo.com.sg --------- body tuner
