q-tip Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 There's no cure for this except time. Avoid movement that causes pain, rest, cold compresses 10 min. on ten min off, your favorite analgesic, sleep with pillow between knees. If just torn back muscle this will be somewhat better in a week, noticeably better in 10 days. If pinched/herniated disc this can last for more than a month before you can walk freely. To reduce chances of doing this again strengthen core abdominal muscles. Learn to sit and stand straight, never slouch when sitting. Your back will get stronger, and get used to this. Use a lumbar support when sitting is unavoidable... like driving Your favorite anal what?.... 2 Quote Link to comment
EastBay521 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Sounds like a pinched nerve. I hope so. Herniated discs are no fun. There's no cure for this except time.

Use a lumbar support when sitting is unavoidable... like driving Great advice Mike, spot no. I had a discectomy in my early thirties after a motorcycle accident. I had to walk like a cripple for two fucking years before my POS insurance company decided the procedure was necessary. I was left with numbness in my foot and some paralyses. Not something you want to mess with, if you feel any numbness or tingling in your leg or foot get your ass to a Dr. ASAP. So after i reported it to the boss, they gave me a number to call to report it to a registered nurse and she told me to wait it out for atleast 3 days. If still hurting after then they will send me in to get check out.. Thought it was a bit odd but ok. not even a drug test. And thanks for the advice guys. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 The boss isn't on your side. After 3 days you may not be 'eligible' for compensation.... w/e. If there is any paperwork get it filled out now. It could be serious, maybe not, but it won't look serious if you waited three days. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 3 days doesn't matter for work comp, at least not in California. I filed a claim for my back a couple months after the major incident. The paper trail started the first time I went in, they didnt seem to care that I said it happened earlier. I bulged my L4/L5 disc. That combined with a congenitally narrow spinal canal lead to a pinched nerve. I had paralysis in my lower left leg - couldn't stand on my heel or curl my toes on my left foot, and pain radiating down the leg. Two MRIs later and spinal decompression surgery (think dremal around the spinal cord), the paralysis was relieved but I still have moderate pain, especially when I first wake up. Good times.

datzenmike Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 I found stretching before getting out of bed helps. Loosens you up, makes moving easier. Stretch as often as possible during the day. Watch cats and dogs, they do it all the time. Quote Link to comment
maltese Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 True. My daily back pain is gone, since I started stretching in the morning, and at night. No medication needed. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 I just find that after any sitting or sleeping it's hard to just get up and go. Stretching just loosens the muscles and allow easier movement. I don't run and jump around like when I was younger and the muscles shorten. They need to be stretched past where you normally move them to keep them 'loose'. Probably not explaining it very well but stretching works over time so try it for a few months to allow the muscles to loosen up. One day you'll notice that you're more comfortable.

EastBay521 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Ill definitely start stretching. It make a lot of sense, especially considering the incident happened about an hour into my work day. I jst tried to wait it out hoping the pain would go away. But the good thing is that my back is not hurting nearly as much as it did yesterday Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 BJs also help. Because science. Quote Link to comment

Lift knees to tummy and hold. Past this I wouldn't want to recommend anything else... I'm no Dr. 1 Quote Link to comment
