Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain And Swelling

5 days ago I tried to pick up something too heavy and strained by lower back. I iced a few days to reduce swelling, took ib pro for pain and lately wrapped my back a few days and began heat and Epson baths. ... last night I felt really nauseas, but thought it was a household chemical. today felt times of mild nausea. ... could I have a slipped disk pressing on a nerve?

hi,

As mentioned by you, most of the times the pain in the back is muscular, and if you have any disc injury it is tough to mention. As MRI scan can help visualize the inner soft tissues of the spine and help assess further. If the pain is not lowering down and swelling is also present i will advice to get an orthopedic assessment done and an MRI will also help to plan the next step.

Performing physical therapy along with proper rest recovers cases upto 99% success. It is even my personal experience with my patients. I wish you to have a good health
