Messed up my back.
Not sure how in the holy hell I did it, I don't remember a particular moment that I hurt it, but I woke up Sunday and I barley could get out of the bed. So I figured I had just tweeked something rolling but I hadn't rolled since the past Thursday and it didn't hurt Friday or Saturday and I the only other thing that I had done semi-stressful is weeding the garden and cutting grass on Saturday.
Anyway, I gave it to this morning and when I woke up it was worse than ever, so I called my doctor and made an appt. for this afternoon.
Well I went and she felt on it and had me raise my legs ect. and then sent me to get an X-ray. Anyway, she said that I just had a really bad pulled muscle in my back that is actually compressing my spine at the very bottom just a little bit and it was showing up on the X-ray....
So she gave me a shot of Taradol (Hell if I know what it is.lol) and two prescriptions one for Voltaren 75mg(Which is basically a strong ass Anti-inflammatory) and one for Metaxolone (Which is a muscle relaxer) and sent me on my happy way.
My question is that this is the first time I have injured by back and wanted to know if anyone had any advice?
She said that the worse thing I could do for it is just lay around, she said that the more I move around, walk, get up and down, ect.ect.ect. the faster it would heal.
Anyone had any experince with any back problems that could give some advice and does anyone know anything about the drugs that she gave me(even the shot)?
Thanks guys.
