If you've never had this happen to you- its basically the whole control panel to your body getting shut down. Simple things like standing-standing in an upright position...very painful if not impossible. Sitting is just as bad-any pressure or stress on the discs in your spine is bad news. Even laying can be uncomfortable. So you just have to find the position that takes as much pressure off your back as possible and fight through it.
You still have to do light stretches if you possibly can. You still have to try to walk a bit if you can and you have to do things like ice, heat, soaks in the tub or electric stimulation or therapeutic ointments. Every day...and this can last days, weeks or longer depending on how bad it is. This is a bad one and Im on my 2nd week of it.
Today I see a chiro and hope for some relief. Fingers crossed.
Work is piling up and Im eager to resume life already.
