My help: Sooooo I was out running with my hellhound, and bent down to pick up her ball….and BOOMCRACKPOPOUCH went something in my back D’: - Help.com

Try heat. A hot bath might help

chiropractor.

anyone you can call over to help?

well im not sure exactly how your back feels.. but when i have back pains… what i do is take a towel and roll it up like a carpet and then lay it down, and then lay on top of it so the towel is going up your back in the valley of your back.. where it dips..

keep a jar nearby for pee.

:)

Was the pain in your upper, middle, or lower back? If it was lower, it could of been a slipped disc or something. Also, you may have just pinched a nerve from the angle you bent over. If it’s hurting in the morning, take your butt to the hospital to get that checked out.

Courty, I had that happen to me, once. It turned out to be the delayed result of over using my back to move furniture around the day before. The pain was incredible, but eventually, I was able to get up and move around, but I was still in pain. The doctor prescribed a muscle relaxant and I rested for a few days. That was more than thirty years ago and there have been no repeat experiences.

If not a jar a nearby plant?

don’t put heat on it that will keep it inflamed, ice will reduce the swelling around the vertebrae if you can stand it, and the other ‘free’ thing that will help is to find a way to hang from your ankles. like if you know someone with a tilt table that is ideal.

how are you feeling today?

Ouchies! You should get to the docs!

hospital. it could be a pinched nerve or worse. and if you slip a disk, you won’t be able to even move enough to crawl, which doesn’t end well for you. so i would say call someone for help, an ambulance if need be. but you NEED to see a medical professional.

You need to stop breaking yourself :P

I know it hurts like nothing else. So sorry you are going through this. How long are you supposed to rest your back and more importantly, when can you go back to see that doctor?

ahhh i see what you did there. You faked a muscle spasm just to hit on a hot doctor and get drugs. Maybe it’s time to change that name of yours to crackbubble. Glad your feeling better and it wasn’t something major.

Sweet! Just remember to invite us to the wedding. Dr. Bubble and Dr. Extremely Hot…has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

now im jealous

silly. doctors are always being hit on by the hot blond numbers in a little red dress, im sure you were just the change in pace he was looking for. just make sure to send you’re friends at help.com the invites to the wedding reception. ;) we love cake.

hi ouchhhh :( let me know how ya are getting on, don’t talk about hot doc’s , i was at the hospital the other day over you know what,and i had to get a chest xray, i was called with other people handed a gown told to go in a changing room and take my top half of my clothes off , inc the bra and put on this Fing gown , than taken back out to sit on a chair looking like a d**khead with a load of strangers with my boobs hanging looking like crap, than this beautiful guy called my name asked me to come into a room and did the xray, wished me all the best and sent me on my way , felt so humiliated sat in stupid changing room crying,complete nightmare, i’m really glad you took yourself to get seen to, hope you recover quickly ;)

WTF… I know that its technically not made up but seriously. Someone who had been drinking whisky all night clearly invented that name for it!! lol.

I hope you get better hun, least you got a nice bit of eye candy. Theres always some good coming from the bad!

you might have dislocated it…

Girl, you better study!! Meds really tick me off but if you need them, you take them. Your health is more important than a test but its also part of your daily responsibilities. In the end, IT DOESNT EVEN MATTER!! Lincoln Park if that slipped over someone’s head.

If it’s in school, it can’t be “that” important. I mean, most careers that I know of, other than doctors, do on the job training anyway. What exam is it?

I knew it. Doctors/Vets have to know that stuff. Well, that’s pretty impressive there crackbubble. Did you try flashcards? Yes, i said flashcards!

haha, well. As long as you don’t have 13 wolves and know black belt martial arts, I’ll believe your not a serial killer haha. So, that means you’ll have to take something similar to the MCATs later right? What field are you planning on entering?

Oh wow. Yeah, that surgical rotation exam sounds rather important. If you don’t pass, could you retake it? Or would you have to take the entire class over again? Also, if your able to work on animals in the surgical field, i see no reason you couldn’t be a doctor either.

Back problems are the worse! seems like doctors themselves are scared of making decisions when it comes to them. Hope you get better soon!!!! Have you seen a chiropractor? I’ve decided a long time ago that whenever I have a problem i go straight to a specialist…this avoids unnecessary doctors bills seeing that you end up with a specialist anyways.

Definately seek a professinal maybe you just pulled a muscle good luck hope you feel better. =)

I played ice hockey for 5 years and have had a vast array of unpleasent injurys it all depends on the movement you did if you bent down too fast you couldve ripped a tendon or had one of your vertbre dislodged if you bent over too far you couldve poped a socket or joint out of place or maybe just tore and arrangement of muscles in different places……………. back injurys hurt most in my opinnion, still i hope you get better =)

i have done the samething try alieve and a heating pad

Have you tried speed? I heard it picks people up through any problem haha. It could be an age thing. I know after 21, my major body parts don’t heal as fast as they used to.

This might sound counter-intuitive, but have you tried doing ab exercises? If it’s been two weeks and you’re still hurting, it’s time to try something else.

The erector spinae went into spasm because they ‘decided’ you were bending too far forward and to the right, so the left back-side of you tried to pull you back upright a bit too harshly. If you’re still in pain, it’s because the pain-killers just killed the sensation, but really didn’t do anything to fix that problem.

There’s a muscle technique called ‘reciprocal inhibition’, where if one muscle is working, its opposite muscle relaxes. (Example: If you tighten your bicep, the triceps automatically relax.)

The opposites of your erector spinae are your rectus abdominus (the ’six-pack’ muscles of your stomach). While you’re flat on your back anyway, try gradually strengthening your abs, first by just contracting and holding them. If you can do that without hurting your back, try gently pulsed crunches (NOT sit-ups!) with your knees bent and feet flat on the (floor? bed?). If that seems to go well, try doing the crunches while holding your feet (knees still bent) an inch or two off the floor.

Hope you feel better!

I agree with wantstrut and on top of the crunches, maybe a stretch could help? If its muscle related and not a disc stretching should help. Best done when your feeling alright on meds, a stretch called brown eye to the sky. Basically lay on your back and lift your legs up and get your knees close to your face, real close. This also helps with excessive gas haha. It might sound and probably does look like something out of the gay karma sutra, so do it in the privacy of your house, unless your into that type stuff.hahaha

Hope you feel better soon.

Jonish is right, the stretch afterwards is a very important component of the technique. So sorry I forgot to mention it, I SHOULD have added:

Do a crunch-move and hold it for 30 seconds (or up to one minute).
Rest for 8-10 seconds, then use your arms to hug your knees to your chest until you feel a comfortable stretch in the tight region of your back.
After about 15 seconds, that feeling of stretch will fade, so tighten your hug until the feeling of stretch comes back. Hold until it fades again. That’s one ’set’. Do 3 sets, three to five times a day. The bonus to this: with strong abs, you’re less likely to throw out your back for no reason again.

Personally, though, I wouldn’t do it while on pain meds, since it’d dull the pain and you’ll be less able to gauge whether you’re stretching too hard. There should be no increase in pain in your back if you’re doing it correctly. If you’re still taking pills for pain, I’d suggest doing this just before taking a dose.

Hi, I came in late and haven’t read the previous comments, so it may have been said in the above.

But hang in your feet, like a bat! It is not a joke, I mean it.
There is a rehab thing like an almost upright board, you step into it and lock your feet.
Then you can swing slowly backwards to the angle you prefer, completely upside down if you so want.

That is not harmful but will allow stretch your body, especially the spine, hip joints and legs.
Some people recommend to hang in your arms, but there is no way of doing so without tensioning your muscles.
This device allows the muscles to be completely relaxed while your skeleton and muscles are stretched out.

My previous job had one, but I am planning to buy one for myself. It costs almost USD 300, but it is worth it.
I am sure that they have one you may use in your local hospital or rehab clinic.

“A beginning Lumbago” will be stopped when using it, but it is good for repairing too. And by the way, you’ll feel very refreshed by getting some few extra drops of blood to your brain.
