I am a 21 year old male. Last week I dropped my car keys on the floor and i went to pick them up and threw out my lower back. I knew i did something, altho it didn't hurt that bad. The next morning I woke up and it felt the same, I noticed something was going on but not rlly anything disabling.. so like an idiot i went to the gym, ran, lifted a litte bit and then had a meeting after with someone, was fine. Drove home, made a sandwich and sat down in my nice big computer chair... after that i got up and i realized i couldn't move. The pain was excrutiating, all in my lower back area. I had to drive to work and I felt my lower back tighten up (i am assuming spasm) and the pain caused me to scream and pull over to the side of the road. Anyway the next day and the day after that the pain went back to what it was originally, maybe a little worse but not that bad. I went back to my routine, had some beers with some frienRAB 2 nights ago and I woke up and that was it! I could not move, i couldn't walk, stand, or even sit up I was in terrible pain. I went to the doctor and I couldn't get outta the waiting room chair when my name was called. He tested me, said he didnt think it was a slipped disk, referred me to a orthapedist and gave me 1) sterioRAB 2) muscle relaxent 3) percacet. The rest of the day was pretty miserable layed down, took the muscle relaxent and went to sleep. Woke up at 4AM today and I was in pain again.. went to the orthapedist this morning he took an xray said everything looks fine tested me with muscle strength tests in my legs etc and said it was prob muscular. Now I've been laying on the floor, and I can't do anything its friday night this sucks. I am better than yesterday but ill tell u right now it is still terrible and I am pretty much limited to my house, I can't leave im in pain and i want to make sure i can heal. What do you guys think, anyone else pull a muscle this bad b4? Do you think I'll be able to at least do some daily activities by the end of the weekend if I continue rest? I have PT scheduled monday... ah this sucks its so disabling i never thought pulling ur back could be this bad
