Snap, I have done the same thing honestly.

Bent over yesterday and ouch, luvkily i had a physio appointment for my shoulder this morning, and we spent more time on my back than arm.

I was given 3 exercises

1/  lie on your back keeping your feet on the ground draw them towards your but, keep your knees together then move them side to side together.

2 lie on your back and draw your knees up  to your chest one at a time

3 was to strech your back by sitting and bending over to touch your knees.

if it gets worse go see a Chiropractor, best money i ever spent,  had an accident  and after a year of going doctor went to see a Chiropractor on my own advice turns out i had twisted my pelves, and spine and parts of my neck had seperated,  i was only in there 2 hours and she knew what was up with me  fixed it with in 6 months,

u can tell if you got back probs or pelves probs, by your shoes, if one of the under soles is wearing out quicker than other u might have a problem, as your body will transfer all the weight to a good leg when walking so you aint in pain

Thanks for those excersises dave, i will try em out mate

[Jeff Brimble]

Nooh,
too soon, just stand against a wall a walk your fingers up the wall as high as you can until you feel pain and hold at that point for a feww seconds, one arm at a time.
Take maximum Ibuferen for 3 days only, then reduce.Then start the excercises. Go to the other forum "Pros"and look in the archives for a topic called the "Back Pages" where I have collected injury info for a couple of years.
It will get slightly better in 5 days, trust me I have a permanent prolapsed spine. See a proper recognised chiropractor when you can get an appointement, It wont be cheap because they should really take an x ray.
Every one is different. But you can get it right.
Get out of bed and keep it moving.

heat is good for bad backs , if you can sit up by a radiator or something it will help .

Same thing happened to me twice, not as bad as yours sounds, but I realised it was time to get a tank fitted in van, as we all know 25 litr is 25 kg!  And over reaching can seriously do your lower back !

Hope back gets better real soon
