I have an injury in my back, please help...?

Question

From 3 years i was making a school show and my role was carrying a 140 kg boy on my back..... (i was 80 by that time but I was packed up)
So in the middle of it i accidently lost balance and fell, while falling, the whole weight of the other boy felt on the middle part of my back and I heard a squack sound...
I felt pain v much, I didnt go to the doctor, it took me 2 month pain, i couldnt even bend my back because of the huge pain.
After the 2 months i became better but till now (3 years later), i feel a small pain in that part of my back when i rotate my body or bent back,
What could have happened, what could be the solution of the doctor and could i get rid of this pain?

Answer 1

First of all......you should have seen a doctor immediately but that's hindsight. You need Xrays to see the old damage as you may have a slipped or protruding disk. The middle part of your back is called the sacrum. Of course it may have torn ligaments too and those never really go away, You may feel the pain from an old injury and have arthritis, which is painful in itself and acts up in cold weather, damp weather an even in air conditioning. You don't have to be old to get arthritis. You need an MRI for your entire spine. Then the doctor will suggest treatments such as physically therapy, chiropractic adjustments or possible surgery. The technology and cutting edge procedures and tests today are very advanced. I am not trying to scare you , but you made a mistake letting it go that long. If the doctor says it's okay. I would do some back strengthing exercises. PT can help you with that so as not to do anything that is going to do more harm. First things first. Do the things I mentioned above to see what your options are and what can ease the pain or discomfort. I wish you the best and be careful who or what you lift. That should be very light lifting until you have all the results back and the diagnosis.

Answer 2

its probably a slipped or damaged disc. Look up slipped disc on the internet. See a chiropractor. They will do an xray and tell you exactly what it is. But if by chance your back does just need a realignment they will do that for you as well. If you have permanently injured your back then that pain will return as time goes by. But it's best to get your body put back in place by a chiropractor and then determine how that will affect your work in the future. See if you had seen a chiropractor when that initially happened to you the doctor could have put it back in place in just minutes and it would have taken you only a couple of weeks to feel better instead of 2 months. When you have an injury like that then use cold packs (a bag of ice or bag of frozen vegetables with a towel over it) and apply it to the area that pains. That will reduce the swelling and then resting "may" put it back into place or "almost" put it back in place. When swelling is down then the pain is reduced. Also take advil (eat some bread or a meal before you take advil) if you are in bad pain. Don't take advil if you are alergic to it. The advil will also decrease the swelling. Do what you can to stay away from surgery (unless you are in your 60's) and be careful on the job, and don't even try to pick up heavy objects anymore. Be sure you see a "chiropractor" as they are more skilled in this specialty problem than a MD doctor would be.

Answer 3

YOU SHOULD GO IMMEDIATELY TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE AN MRI DONE! IF YOUR BACK WAS BROKEN, YOU WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MOVE AT ALL!!!!!!!!!
SOUNDS AS IF YOU MAY HAVE SOME MIS-PLACED DISCS/OR HERNIATED DISC. THERE ARE SEVERAL VERY SIMPLE OPERATIONS THAT CAN CORRECT THIS (SHOULD THIS BE THE CASE). YOU FIRST SHOULD GO TELL A DOCTOR EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AND ASK FOR AN MRI TO BE DONE. THEY CAN TELL EVERYTHING BY HAVING THIS DONE AND THEN WILL GO FROM THERE. YOU WILL PROBABLY BE GIVEN THE OPTION OF BEING PUT ON PAIN MEDICATION OR SOME TYPE OF SURGERY, DEPENDING ON THE DAMAGE AND WHAT "YOU" CHOOSE TO HAVE DONE.
(I was involved in an auto accident back in 2001 and did not go to a doctor because I did not feel any pain at the time- however, in 2003 I started having severe lower back pain and had an MRI done. Turns out that I had two herniated disc that were rubbing into my spinal nerves AND one disc that was totally gone that had to be replaced. I first took pain medications because I was scared of any back surgery at the time. In 2005 I finally had a simple back surgery done which corrected the problems and am now pain free. Most of the surgery's now-days they only make two very small incisions and you usually only stay over-night for one night for observance to be sure everything went right. Definately have a doctor to order an MRI to be done FIRST and then you will know where to go from there.

Answer 4

Back pain never goes away. I was in a car accident when i was 18. I hurt my Back and I still have problems today at 25.

Answer 5

i reccommend u 2 check a doctor very soon,cuz back's injuries r dangerous some times,tell him the whole story & En Sha Allah he'll find u a solution.

Answer 6

i couldn't be sure what happened, it might be good if
you would get an X-ray of ur back. From what i've read
it might just be a small fracture on ur spine, usually goes
away within months if ur still young, but i'd still go to a doctor

Answer 7

there are certain back exercises youre supposed to do. doc will know. i got in a car accident and didnt do my exercises and it stopped hurtin but a yr n some later until now i stilll have back problems from it. wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too lazy to do exercises now but it doesnt hurt unless i stand a long time. and i dont doooo that.

Answer 8

Some of the bones or tendons could have twisted or even broke. you should go to the Doctor immediately and they might do an operation. the sooner the better.

Answer 9

this is not the place to answer your question. You need to go see your MD and tell him/her all the symptoms you are having and let them do some tests or xrays to give you a diagnosis.....esp 3 yrs later.
