pain
"I recently pulled a lower back muscle trying to put a generator onto a cart at Lowes.  The pain was not too bad so I carried on and tried to work through the pain (I have pulled it before) well that was a week ago.  Yesterday I went to the gym to sit in the Sauna to help loosen it up, which it did but while walking out I stumbled and my back locked up.  The spasm was bad.  I managed to get home and I was able to stretch out, but this morning I started getting lower back spasms something fierce.  I was unable to move without a spasm. Well right now,  still on bed, but I am taking Vicodin (pain) and flexeril (muscle relaxer) I hope to be up soon.  Thank you all for your posts. They helped me get through this nightmare."
