Can you help me with my hurt back?

I HURT my back! can someone help me out please!!?

  • About 2 months ago I was doing the P90x program. Theres this one exercise called " The Superman" where you lay on your stomach and lift your arms and legs in the air. Well I stupidly tried to challenge myself and lifted my legs way too high off the ground. ( which now I know thats totally the WRONG way to do it) As SOON as I got up I felt PAIN in my lower back and it hasnt gone away since! Ive been to a chiropractor, they told me that I sprained a ligament in my lower back. It makes sense but it was supposed to heal weeks ago! And now its just getting worse They did some electrical steam therapy. that kinda helps but it doesnt last very long. I ice my back, but it only takes the pain away temporarily. Now Im stuck with a back brace....I dont think its making a difference tho :( Has this happened to YOU? If so, what did you do to make the pain go away? will this thing FINALLY heal?...EVER? :(

  • Answer:

    When you hurt your back, the pain's not supposed to just vanish in just a couple of days or even a month. The backbone is the main bone in your body. If it's injured, it may take months to recover. Wait for another 2 months. The pain will reduce and evetually be over. I have a permenant backbone problem. If I run or move a lot, it hurts so much, but if I rest, the pain goes away. Hope yours get better soon!

Keep putting ice on it. Sometimes these things take a long time to feel better. Sorry but sometimes these things never feel right ever again. I hate getting old and believe me getting older starts young. I hurt all the time from injuries from my past. Some how I think yours will get better but expect more pain in your life. You just have to learn to live with it.

Hi D. I am a retired Chiropractor. Obviously, your Chiropractor has not determined the correct cause of your pain because 8 months is too long to wait for improvement. Based on your description of the "mechanism of injury", you may have injured one or both of your ileopsoas muscles. These muscles attach to the front of the lumber spine (lower back area of the spine). They are the primary muscles involved in "sit-up" types of body motions (the abdominal muscles - abs - are secondary muscles, they help but do not do most of the work). Ask your Chiropractor to evaluate the ileopsoas muscles for you. Here is a link to Wikpedia's page on the psoas muscle (the iliacus + psoas = ileopsoas). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psoas_major_muscle Best wishes and good luck.
