What Could Sudden Extreme Pain In Spine Indicate?

Hi my period is due in a few days. And I have woken up this morning with severe pain, that has left me unable to walk. The pain has been so painful that I have cried, and it feels like something is pressing against my spine, Any ideas about what this could be please?

Hello,
Welcome to hcm,
Sudden severe pain could be because of muscle spasm or problem with the disc. I advise you to take muscle relaxants orally and apply diclofenac ointment locally. If the symptoms doesn't subside then consult orthopaedic surgeon for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Thank you
