default
Posted on Wed, 1 Apr 2015
Question: Hello. By the end of the day, one spot in my lower back is so tight that it is pain ful to sit, lay down, get up, etc. If I try to roll over, stand, etc. I have stabing, take my breath away pain followed by muscle spasms. I can't get on my back to sleep -- too painful. As I'm falling asleep and my muscles relax, I can feel something (a disc? the bone?) scrape against another something (dis? bone?) and slide back into place. Although the shift is painful while its happening, the pain is reduced greatly after.
