I can tell ya from personal experience that both a doc and a chiropractor can screw your back up more. Just do everything you can to relax your back as stated above, in the morning, do your research on both and make a decision that bests suits you. Hope you get well soon. Completely agree

Hate to hear that, back pain is no joke. I had, what the doctor told me was a strained muscle back when I played football. Had a collision during practice and it felt like you drove a couple of nails into my spine, right between the shoulder blades. Finished practice up, and gritted my teeth for the next two days. Could barely move and finally went to the doctor. He said it was just the muscle. Gave me some pain meds and went on my way. About a year later, it was still bothering me, although not as piercing of a pain, so I had it checked again. Turns out, I had strained a muscle, but also had a straw fracture. Moral of the story, choose your doc carefully

I have a broken vertebrae and use chiro first, spinal block second. Keeps the pain away until I retire and get surgery.

Trox, I have treated folks with similar conditions for years. Like some others have said, ice is best during the first 72 hours. Think about this. If you are watching sports and someone get hurt, you don't see them on the sidelines with a heating pad! Ice is mother nature's anti inflammatory medicine. I have my patients to ice for 20 mins on/40 min off as many times as the possibly can for the first 3 days. After that, they do a contrast of ice/heat for the next 3 days. After one week, the heat onLy. It sounds as if you have pulled a muscle but hard to tell without an exam. There are some muscles back there that attach to the vertebra and the disc. If these muscle are in spasm, they can mimic a herniated or bulging disc. Other the counter antinflamatory meds such as ibuprofen or naproxen can help as well. One of the biggest things you need to do, once over this episode is to concentrate of stretching your hamstrings. There was an article that came out around 2005 that said 78%+ of all low back pain could be eliminated through proper hamstring flexibility. The hams cross 2 major joints (hip and knee) and kinda acts as a return spring to help us stand back up. When we bend over to pick stuff up the hams usually limit how far we can go. When we push further, we end up pulling our backs. Pm me for any more info. Be glad to help where I can. I have been a practicing Chiropractic Physician for 15+yrs. I cant walk on water, but most get better with conservative care.

he's right...you will become more mindful of your lifting technique (with legs, not back). may not be until after the next "reminder" aka strain. there are times when i sneeze and feel my back pop and i know it wasn't my back popping, but muscle fibers/scar tissue straining. most likely when under work stress.
stretching is very beneficial
good luck and ....no sudden movements!!

My buddy and I both have L5 S1 issues and stretching hamstrings on a regular basis helps keep things quiet. He taught me this trick several years ago and happens to be an orthopedic surgeon.

Like Jeff said when the pain goes away start stretching do toe touches and any thing else that will stretch your back and leg muscles, I have to do this everyday or my back goes out by just bending at the waist the wrong way.....
Oh and like some one said now that it has happened once it will happen again....

If you're taking Ibuprofen, be careful with it. It can cause stomach bleeding and if you've ever had stomach ulcers you should never take it.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.
