I'm very sorry about the pain you're experiencing. Your best bet at this point would be to see your Doctor, so you can find out exactly what is going on. At this point an X-Ray (which will show what's going on with the discs) and an MRI (which will reveal what's going on with the soft tissues) and I think at this point these tests are both warranted.
At this point rest is the priority and it would be helpful to alternate heat and ice on your back. If you can tolerate Ibuprofen, the liquid gels might be helpful to reduce the inflammation and inevitably assist with the pain.
Definitely, do see a Doctor, because that will be key in finding out exactly what is going on and provide a treatment plan.
Keep us posted on how you're doing. :angel:
