I personally had a car accident that messed my back up. I have herniated disc..not fun. However I also had to wait 2 weeks before seeing my doctor. Soak in your tub with epsom salt, have someone rub the green type of rubbing alcohol on your back(it has menthol in it) get someone to rub some type of cream as well and try to just lay. You probably do not want to use heatpad..sometimes it will make inflammation more inflammed. Hope your problem is not as bad as you think it is. Back problems are no fun and can alter your life more than you think. If you know anyone who has a TENS UNIT....definately try that it helps so much....
Hello,
Not sure about the broken part, however this is very painful I bet!!
Can you try and get into the doctor before that, ER if you have too? Last time I fell I fractured a bone in my hand.
I just spoke to a gal in the next town over from us and she fell here a couple days ago and broke a bone, she too slipped on ice.
Go to the doctor before 2 weeks. Take it easy and take some pain meds.
Wish you the best!! Dang I am so sorry this happened to you!!
Get X-Ray, make sure that there is no broken.
First you should use RICE... R= rest I= ice C= compression and E= elevation. I really don't know how you compress your back so you may want to skip that... You should definitely take a break from running, and try to refrain from walking long distances or standing for a long time. It is a good thing that you are going 2 the doctors but if it hurts bad enough then you should go to the ER because you shouldn't keep doing your normal routine everyday if something serious is going on in your back... you could hurt it worse. I have broken other bones in my hand and sprained many many things but I can't imagine breaking or even hurting something in my back. I hope you feel better... get some rest oh and take pain killers to ease the pain like Tylenol, Motrin, Advil etc. I hope this helps.
