I have already posted in another area of this forum about a different injury i seem to be a walking disaster just lately.

10 days ago i slipped over on some ice and hurt my back pretty badly. The following day the pain was so intense i couldn't move, and the pain was getting worse. I went to the GP who did a quick examination of my back and told me everything was fine and just keep taking co-codamol, of which i have. I woke up today unable to move due to the pain my back is causing me. I have taken the co-codamol and they dont seem to be touching the pain. Im in real agony.
 
I'm sorry you fell. It is my greatest fear of the winter.

Have you been icing your back? All the muscles tend to tense up when there is trauma. Any inflammation can cause the nerves to become irritated and that can result in all kinRAB of pain. If you can get up and walk at a slow pace it should benefit you.

I would recommend you ice for twenty minutes at a time, and apply it several times per day. I also recommend you try to walk a short distance several times per day if possible. This will help get freshly oxygenated blood to the sore area. Try to give it a couple more days. If it is getting no better or worse, I would suggest you try to get a CT scan or MRI to see if you have caused damage....

Please come back and let us know how you're doing.
