Back hurts alot!

**Bobby-bandito** · 02-04-2008 11:45 AM

today i was sitting eating my 2nd meal and i lent over to put my box in my bag and i felt something painful in my lower back region, cant pinpoint what it is, unsure if its muscular or spinal i cant really lean over to the left any more without the pain and when i walk it feels asthough someone is lightly nipping my back. its defo not a good pain/ache from training so i was wondering if anyone had a suggestion what it could be..

sitting at home with deap heat on and ive just had a lecture about going to the gym and training hard.. fun.

Its worth just getting yourself down to the docs to have it checked out just incase.

certainly, i have booked an appointment, just seeing if anyone has an opinion on what it could be and advice for pain relief etc.

Ibuprofen tablets or rub-in gel can ease the pain and calm down any imflammation in the muscles, assuming that it could be the muscle. Although it sounds more like the spine to me. I'm not an expert though.

Perhaps a hot bath would help relax it, and stick some ice packs on there before bed and in the morning and that could help calm the pain as well.

Although if it is the spine that's hurting then I don't know if those points will help pain there. No harm in trying.

Don't go to the Doctors, they're qualified but really know sweet FA. Simply by reading your thread I can diagnose within 100% accuracy that your spine is broken.

Get to the Doc's lad!
