Wrenched Back Pain?!


Question:

Wrenched Back Pain?

My back is killing me. Three weeks ago I was playing with my one year old godson (he's about 30 lb.) swinging him around and every since then I have been having pain in my lower right back. Actually it feels like the lower right lobe of my rib/lung area. I believe I proebably strained my back and have not helped it because I have been packing and moving heavy boxes all around since I am moving at the end of week and have no one else to help me. This past weekend I went to two company pinics and rode rides and also packed tons more. Today the pain is almost burning it feels like - my bra (which actually fits properly) is laying across it, putting pressure of it that kills, once I unhook my bra the pressure lessens and doesn't burn as bad.

Anyone else had this problem. Anything I can do? I know I need to rest it but sadly this week is not an option.


Answers:

Well you certainly know the cause of your pain, and you know what you need to do--REST!!! Sadly, if you cannot do this I am afraid your pain will only get worse. Try and do some light streching on your back to try and relieve some pain. Also take some IB profen. (If you have a Rite Aid in your area, they sell an over the counter "Arthritis Pain Relief" that is 650mg/pill!).
