How do I remedy a pulled muscle in my lower back?
It hurts from the small of my back to the middle of my butt. I did it well i was in the middle of doing squat. I must have shifted or something in mid motion causing me to pull it. I took some ibpuorefin(sp?) and rubbed some Bengay on it. Is there anything else I can do? It hurts so bad to sit down and left my self up. Takes my almost 2 minutes just to get in and out of my car.
Answers:
mostly you just need to rest it in order for it to get better. when you move around a lot you are agravating it and making it take longer to heal. stay seated for as long as you can with an ice pack or heat pack depending on how long ago you injured it. ice is for immediate injury, heat is for recovering injury. take a day off work or something so you can get some real healing done. otherwise just keep taking ibeprofin to help the swelling go down and to keep the pain at bay.
