Ouch!!!!!!?!


Question:

Ouch!!!!!!?

I'm 14 and I Was at swimming practice and I felt fine, than suddenly after I dove in I was swimming and the side of my back started hurting. I also had trouble breathing without sharp pains at first but than it went away as I started excersising, along with the pain in my back. It also got that feeling when I twisted my back a certain way and pressed on the side of my back. It went away during the day as the day went on and it eventually stopped. Does this sound like a strained or sprained back to you.

And it hurt when I got up from sitting down and slightly when I was sitting down. It also sort of hurt when I moved around a little


Answers:

It sounds like you've pulled some muscles. I would take some ibuprofen, ice, and rest it, and if it's not any better within a few days see a doctor. I've gotten this before at swim practice from pulling my back because my muscles have to work extra hard around the tons of scar tissue that I have in my back- I've just had to ice, ibuprofen, and rest my back. Good luck!
