back problems?
I got up this morning and had a cough, as I was coughing I got a pain in my pelvis when I kinda jumped from the pain I did something to my back and now I am in extream pain, I felt at first like I couldnt even move, does anyone have any idea what this could be or any suggestions what could help with the pain. I am having trouble bending and moving from the pain and I am not sure if I should just put a heating pad on or what.

Sounds like when you jumped you pinched a nerve in your back - - - have done this 2 - 3 times - - the pain is horrible. Could hardly even get into a car to go to my doctor. He prescribed muscle relaxer and pain med. Once home I just stayed on a mattress on the living room floor and could only get up to go to the bathroom very very slowly with support. But in about 3 days the swelling in the nerve was gone and I was back to normal. I used cold pack for 15 min - then wet heat (towel heated in microwave wrapped up in garbage bag) for 15 minutes - and then end with another cold pack. This really helps and feels wonderful - - be careful - don't laugh - sneeze - or cough !!!
