I herniated my disk by lifting a 30-35 pound bag of garbage!. Apparently it doesn't always include a severe injury!.
Initially, I thought I had a UTI, as the pain was very similar- dull, achy pain in my lower back, off-center to the right a bit!. A day or two after this began, the pain became much worse, and I actually wet the bed one night!. The thought of myself, an adult, wetting the bed scared me enough to make me finally seek medical help!.
At the ER, I was given a cortisone shot and a prescription for muscle relaxers!. The doctor was very thorough and actually gave me a list of exercises to relieve my pain and they did just that!.
After a few weeks of the exercises and occasional muscle relaxer, my pain disappeared!. I've had on-and-off back pain ever since, but nothing as severe!.
I hope that helps!. Sorry I couldn't answer all of your questions, but I thought I'd share my experience!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
