Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Could Severe Pain And Stiffness In Back Be Due To Herniated Disk?
I bent over and suddenly my back did something and put me on the ground. Was unable to walk for about 14 or so hours. Had to crawl. 2 days later Im able to walk but still feeling pain and extreme tightenss to where its hard to move. Could this just be a simple back spasm or strain? Or could it be something worse like a slipped disk or herniated disk?
According to your symptoms, you are having back spasm. To relieve symptoms you can have hot and cold bag massage for back and anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen.
If pain persist for than a week you should consult an orthopedic doctor. He would investigate you with X-rays and MRI if needed.
Thank you.
Regards,
Dr. Manan
