Re: Lower Back INjury Question (please help)

[Guest guest]

I can only tell you from my experiences that there is not time frame on how

long it will take to heal. I was injured March 2nd again from another car

accident and I am still in pain. I can say some days it is better than others

but

I do know they stress strengthening exercises to help. For me they never

worked but I do what they say anyway. Have they taken and xray of your lower

back? I know with me they seem to wait a long time before they do other tests

to

see what is wrong like MRI's. Wishing you the best of luck.

Jon...I would return back to the doctor and ask for x-ray, CT or MRI and make

sure there is no disk or vertebrae damage. Some muscle strains can take awile to

heal, but you need to make sure what is going on first.

I started out the same way you are describing...still and sore in morning and

easing with activity. Put it off to old age but it took a minor slip and near

fall to totally screw up my back, resulting in surgery and lifelong pain and

disability.

Hi Viv,

Yea, ment to say stiff sorry.... If it were slipped disk would I

likley feel pain in legs. Gosh, I am concerned. Also if slipped

disk would it get less " tight " as day goes on and I move around more?

Thanks again Viv
