question: I had a back injury about 10 days ago that resulted in a pulled muscle on left lower back. Muscle spasms occurred with any rapid movement, getting in and out of car or trying to take stairs. I went to physician got steriods, muscle relaxer and pain meds. Only took pain meds about 2 1/2 days but continued the anti inflammatory meds for about 6 days. Currently having to take a couple ibuprofen maybe twice a day due to being uncomfortable while working. Now that the rough pain is gone, I am still experiencing pain(not intense but very noticable) when I go have a bowel movement that gets worse when pushing. I am 42, to medical problems to speak of and female. Is this something I should be worried about and possibly seek an order for an MRI?
