Back still hurts so bad. What's the worst strain or sprain you guys have ever had? Anxiety still through the roof :( and because I'm compensatingand leaning forward, my stomach hurts now too.
Ugh.

KB,

I have only really hurt my back once...aside from the regular fatigued muscle or achiness.

I was moving a tumbling mat at work (I am a dance teacher) and I exerted and twisted simultaneously. I felt it immediately, but thought I could just stretch it or work it out...nope. The pain just kept getting worse.

I hobbled through my last class...went home and cried. It hurt to sit, lie, stand, breathe...everything! I have never had an injury like it....and I hardly even moved to incur it!

I iced it for the first 72 hrs. I used NSAID's and rested completely for about 4 days. I wasn't bed ridden, but I really had to take things slow and be careful. After that I slowly started stretching the area. I resumed (almost all) regular activity after about a week...but the healing probably took about 2 weeks in all to be complete.

I am sorry this is happening to you. No fun! How did your injury happen if you don't mind sharing?

Sending healing thoughts! Know with time it will get better...

KelBear,
My back is constantly spasming from bad posture, exercise, sleep patterns, etc, so I know how you feel. The worst is when I completely threw it out on the trampoline and landed in a funny way where I heard a crack, and it physically hurt to move, sit, stand, even breathe. I did a lot of Epsom salt baths, heat and ice therapy, NSAIDS, and very light stretching. Took me about a week and a half to be mobile again...

I know you will feel better soon!

Hi

I have a chronic back pain condition and yes it sucks as it's constantly sore I try and stay as active as possible but careful not to over do it although I am planning on increasing my exercise so will need to see how that goes. I also find Mindfulness very helpful.

Hibee
