Nothing like a backache to bring one back to the realization of how dependant we are on that particular part of our skeletal system.
Sorry to read that you are hurting ---- that just SUCKS!!

I am sorry you are hurting. I injured my cervical spine last June and it was a horrible and worse yet, it kicked off a rogue cycle. On the positive side the pred taper I took for the cycle corrected the spine injury faster thatn it stopped my cycle.
I hope you feel better soon.

I am sure it will get better ! I am a little afraid to take any pain meds, I am afraid I would hurt it worst if I did and not know it.
The real bad part is I can't do the house work so I have time to read the board and post and bug all of you to death! You all will be saying God I hope she gets well so she will go away

Lady E!
Did you call a doctor? Are you having any numbness/tingling with the pain? Are you able to walk? If your pain is that severe, you really need to seek some medical attention...just to make sure there isn't something serious wrong....
I'm praying that it feels better soon, but please keep us posted!
Hugz,

I had some numbness last night when I was laying on my back, but it stopped when I turned over. I think when I took the camper down I pushed or pulled something out of place. I can walk but slow and bent over. I am going to the Doctor Saturday if it is not better. They are open until noon Saturday. I am not hitting on much thats a fact. I tried to wash cloths and went to take the detergent down off the shelf and had to drop it , because it hurt so bad.
Hell I will be fine in a day or so. I just need some pity LOL

Sorry Elaine, no pity here. Lots of Sympathy however 
I think we all have messed our backs up some time or other.
You be very careful, HEAR? If you did do some real damage, you can make it worse. (besides, it is hard getting into grand stands at the races in a wheel chair)
Hoping you get well soon!

Lady E...backs can take a really long time to get back to normal, so baby it, keep a hot pack on hand, and watch out for any worsening of the numbness. Most back problems take time and will resolve on their own. Although, a good chiropractor can sometimes speed up the process. Sorry you have this to deal with. Just make sure that your keyboard skills remain intact.

May be a disc or just muscular. Pain down the back or front of your leg or tingling down your leg and even sometimes your arm may be a disc.
If it persists go to an Orthopedist specializing in the spine.
Upon movement if it gets better or worse could be a disc rubbing against a nerve root coming out of the cord.
90 % of discs spontaneously go back in to the vertebral space in a while.
Advil one or two every six hours not to exceed four doses per day for three days may help if not get to the above.
Some people who go untreated for n extended period of time lose bowel or bladder control so be vigilant and stay on your feet.
Bed rest is no longer the treatment for this.
You will be ok.

Sounds not fun E.
My hope is that it's simply a muscle spasm. They go away. I know. I had one where there was no such thing as a comfortable position. I used a muscle relaxant. Either that was the solution or just my moving around at the ER was the answer. It's hard to know. It improved slowly but surely.
Be careful Elaine and when it gets better, don't be too chatty about it so be sure to milk this for all it's worth. You need a break.

Here it is! I found the pity. Guess I had a lot left over from my back problem. Now I'll pass it on to you E my friend.
If you are in that much pain, and feel numbness or tingling (nerve involvement?), you need an Orthopedist. Could be a lot of things.......

Thanks for the pity, sympathy, vibes, prayers and the laughts.

Re: I hurt my Back !
Sounds not fun too Elaine. 
One thing. I know you've heard it before but going to Chiropractors is a waste of effort. What they call "adjustments" has nothing to do with much of anything, especially medicine. It's a big rackett. Chiropractors are successful in making a lot of money because so many people like going to someone that won't stick needles in them or perform other invasive things....In fact they can't. It's illegal for them to do so nor can they write prescriptions.
Get to an MD if this persists.
Hope you have a good recliner.

Charlie,
My chiropractor up at Penn State helped me a lot, too! I had numbness and tingling on the left side of my back in the middle. I went to him for a couple of weeks, and it really did get better. I'd waited a long time, and because I was practicing piano 5-7 hours a day, there was no way it just spontaneously improved because I certainly did not rest it!!
I know some are bad (been to some who are) and it can be even dangerous for some people (if there's narrowing around the basilar artery) but every once in awhile, they are pretty help for some things.

I always have wonder'd if chiropractors just yank and pull things makeing those areas hurt so you forget about the bad spots while they are healing as they would naturally but maybe ya don't favor them as much irritateing the area more cuz OTHER stuff is sore as hell now ? Sumtimes I think message theropists jus do what no one else mite wanna do.....rub this and rub that for hours FREE. Skeptical skeptic Pam
