I should really get my ass to a chiropractor (or should I say my back)
If you have a heating pad, that will also help to relax the muscles. Tylenol will help reduce any inflammation.
@Spagesgallo1 I already took some Aleve and I have some absorbine junior patches on my lower back right now thank you:)
Okay! I really hope you find relief from the Aleve and patches. You are most welcome! 😊
@Spagesgallo1 yeah I have scoliosis and every now and then I get back spasms but if this is a spasm it didn't start out the typical way I don't even know how to describe what's happening One minute I can move the next minute I can't physically like something's preventing me from moving and then the next minute I hurt like hell when I'm not even moving... So it feels like a strain and a back spasm at the same time
Oh, wow! I am so sorry about the scoliosis! Hopefully it just a spasm that will resolve on its own. If it persists, please go see a doctor. Could be a pulled muscle, sciatica or herniated discs, which is what I have. The symptoms you are describing sound similar. Get plenty of rest as well. Don't try doing anything strenuous. But being evaluated by a doctor is a good place to start.
@Spagesgallo1 yeah I've actually been thinking about the sciatic nerve as well... I'm hoping it's not that what's really weird is it happened right after I woke up, All I did was sneeze... Funny thing is my plan as of last night was to do absolutely nothing this weekend and looks like that's exactly what I'm going to do... thank you very much

I've had issues with my back since I was 17, after being thrown from a horse. I have been going to a pain management doctor for epidurals as needed. Be careful with a chiropractor. When I feel my back starting to act up, I lay on the floor with my legs held upright against the wall. It helps to realign my back. Going for physical therapy is also extremely helpful. Hope you feel better soon. Back pain is no joke.
