Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I injured myself in Jan 09 by during waist twisting exercise using a 7ft 45lb barbell. I went to muscle failure and overextended the rightside of my lower back(just right of spine). No noticeable nerve damage, i feel its muscular but why hasn't it went away. If i dont workout my lower back now i feel the pain/soreness in that area. Whats going on with my back
hi You need to give proper rest to back for complete healing.Take adequate bed rest, apply muscle relaxant gels after hot fomentation for a couple of days without bending and lifting objects.Continued work outs/stretching never leaves sufficient rest to strained muscle to heal.Take advil tabs also in a short course for 3-5 days after meals to promote healing from inflammed muscle regards
