I Had My Husband Pop My Back By Grabbing And

Posted on Fri, 19 Apr 2019

Question: I had my husband pop my back by grabbing and lifting me up with his facing my back. After, it felt differently than what it normally feels like, so I try to stretch it on my own by bending forward. I made it worse and then I had pain. I woke up and it's feeling better but it is still stuff and hurts to twist.

Brief Answer:
Most likely muscle strain of lower trepezius.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to the 'Ask A Doctor service'.
I have reviewed your query and below is my advise.

You are having muscle strain most likely. Probably lower trepezius strain.

I suggest you to take anti inflammatory medication like ibuprofen for five days.
It's also advisable to take muscle relaxant like chlorzoxazone as muscle spam can lead pain and discomfort.

Hot compress can be applied over affected back area.

Avoid strenous activities for few days.

Take rest for 3-5 days from work.

If no improvement than I suggest you consult nearby orthopedic surgeon for detailed evaluation.

Hope I have solved your doubt.

Regards
