Alot of times the Doctors don't tell you to take your pain meds right fearing you may like them too much,I think thats bull, if your in pain take them cause if your not taking enough and then the pain gets stronger you have to keep taking them, if you take the right amount to begin with you won't get the pain in the first place. Double up on the pain pills and take them every 4-6 hours before you get the pain cause after you get it, its too late its there and getting worse, try laying in a nice hot as you can stand it TUB and get someone maybe put bengay on your back, read the directions if you do, cause thy tell you to rub a certain way! And take those pain pills!. I think it stupid to be in pain if you don't have to be,Take the meds right and do it every 4-6 hours weather your in pain or not, do not wait till your hurting it will be too late, i'm serious!!
You need a chiropracter. The pain might recede some, but most likely you did more than just pull a muscle. Even if that's all it was initially, its impeded your back's ability to keep things in structural homeostasis and its out of place by now.
