Hi, I don't know what I've down to my back but I can't move the pain is an 8 out of ten, lower back pain on the right side only. Feels like the muscle but is the pain supposed to be this harsh? I excercise everday past 6 months but I was chopping a tree down a few days ago. Could this be the problem? Even tho it was 2 days ago.
Gender: MaleAge: 24 Already Tried: Icy hot patch. Tried to stretch in morning feels like I made it worse...
Do you have pain radiating down the right leg?
Or is it just pain / cramping in the lower back?
Does this pain appear to be in the flank? Do you have any trouble with urination?
Hello, yes I do have weird pain on the top of my leg, also the pain reaches the front of my stomach again only the right side. People around me are tellibg me i strained my back but the pain foes not go away no matter what i do. Lay down. I cannot sit down on a chair so much pain, when I stand feels like things are getting smushed. No pain with urination.
Top of the leg -- does that mean the front of the thigh? Or does it also mean the front of the shin and foot as well?
How long has this pain been going on?
Not even the thigh above the thigh is where the pain is. So weird I woke up at 6 in the morning feeling fine, but once I woke up at 8am to start working I couldn't get out of the bed. So the pain been going on fr 10 hours ne but it keeps getting worse, I've tried ice, hot towels, icy hot patch, 2 advil. Should I go to emergency? Or it's just something I rest and will go away. The pain stings comes and goes but seems to be more painful every hour.
Well -- certainly this could be a severe musculoskeletal back strain.
Almost everyone has a severe flareup of this type of back pain in their lives -- and the severe pain comes from muscle strains in the back.
At 24 years of age -- other severe potential issues causing severe back pain seem unlikely (if you were 64 for example, I would be much more concerned).
Nevertheless -- it is really impossible for anyone over the Internet to fully evaluate anything, so if this pain is severe -- then having someone see you and evaluate you in person is always best.
Unfortunately, it's tough to really give you an answer other than that, as in most cases of musculoskeletal back strain -- the pain does improve over days to a couple of weeks -- but only an in person doctor's exam can help to figure this out.
