Moved a heavy box tday. Had trouble at first straightening upright. Back hurting all day. Lower back on the right side.Feel kinda stiff also. Never had this happen before. Is this likely to get better in a few days. Does this sound familiar to anyone.
 
If you can tolerate the pain, I would try to baby it for a couple of days by laying on ice, taking hot baths, taking aleve or motrin or ibuprophen around the clock for a few days, not lifting, not twisting, not bending, and basically just doing some light walking and lounging around. If the pain continues much longer than a week or becomes worse, I would see your family doctor for xrays

Good luck and I pray that this is simply a pulled muscle and nothing more.
