I would probably take 800 mg of Ibuprofin as a first step, until I could get some help in getting to a physician. Your should know, however, that I have a PhD in Engineering Mechanics, and not an MD. |

Or the beginning of some sort of Urinary or Kidney infection. Go see a doctor. If you are going to be down/out, at least know why. |

Could be kidney stones. Go to the Doc, if only for pain relief. Let us know what happens. We love this shit. |

Steve,
Don't try to ride this out on your own. Back problems just don't go away. You only have one back (and one set of kidneys, etc) so seek medical attention. At least go see a good chiropractor. |

Sounds like the initial symptoms of something I went through a dozen years ago.
Herpes zoster. Hurts like hell. At first, it feels just like you injured your back (assuming that your torso is what is afflicted). |

Worst pain of your life? Can't stand up? Have to crawl around?
Ignore it and go on like nothing's wrong. I mean, pain is just your body's way of telling you to man up. It's not like anything is really wrong. You shouldn't even consider going to the hospital. |

Get one of your buddies to take you to the doc. If you can't think of any reason for this like furniture moving, wild sex, or extreme ditch digging I would sure go to the doc. |

Dust under the bed while you are down there... Seriously, get in to see a doc. Got anyone that can come pick you up? Were you moving ammo crates around yesterday or over the weekend? Anything that could have tweaked your back? Drinking binge? Snorting Drano? Give us a bit more to work on here... |

well hopefully not a disc then, maybe you've just got muscle spasms going on... I would alternate the heat and cold and try some ibuprofen, if that doesn't have it in a couple hours i'd get to a dr. and get yourself checked out.

Could be back spasms...
I thought I was having a heart attack when I had spasms a few years back... oh, man I was messed up. (couldn't take deep breaths, entire chest hurt, intense pain...) (hurt bad but not as bad as migraines though  )

Sounds like a lumbar muscle spasm. That'll lock you down good. www.healthcentral.com/encyclopedia/408/423/Lumbar_Muscle_Spasms.html ETA: This second one here recommends heat, not ice. That icing it down when you know you've done it some damage is good as it reduces inflammation, but that if you ice it later on it'll clamp down harder. Heat should loosen it up by increasing blood flow. www.1backpain.com/backmusclespasm.htm Get in and see a doc. |

Pain is your body's way of letting you know you ain't dead yet.
 To the Emergency Room! Oh... okay, the Chiro... but the ER sounds more dramatic. Hope you get it fixed. |

I have had kidney stones and blown a disk in my back. The disk pain definately trumps the kidney stone pain. On a 1 to 10 scale disk pain pushes 10 to new highs.
When you blow a disk, you know it. You feel it pop, and almost hear it as well. Doesn't take a lot of exertion to do it, just twisting and or lifting wrong. Muscle spasm sounds more likely if you didn't do anything to pop your back. If you put heat on a spasm, it gets better, on a bad disc, it gets worse. When you really jave disc problems, pain rediates down your leg or legs, and you can lose use of your leg, both temporarily or perminantly due to nerve damage. Oh, and fuck doctors, they don't and won't do shit for the pain. BTDT several times. |

I am tired of people complaining of "back Pain". Too often here at work a person will use this excuse to get out of doing his/her job. Get off your lazy a$$ people, everybody is sore from time to time get up and do something to "work harden" yourself, Geeze

Something like that happened to me when I was in High School. A friend that was a lineman tackled me when I wasn't paying attention (I did not have a chance to brace myself at all). He completely fucked up something in my back, and the pain got worse and worse until I coudln't walk. I wasn't able to walk the rest of the day, then the next day the pain slowly came back as I moved around until I couldn't walk again. I had to have friends help me to walk across the street from the school, and I had to call for a ride home because I couldn't make it 100 more feet to the bus stop. Even sitting down the pain was terrible. When I tried to walk, I would see bright flashes and have the worst pain I have ever felt, usually enough to make me fall down. The problem is, nobody believed me about how bad it was. They said "you're too young to have back pain". Fucking idiots. I guess he knocked a disk out of alignment or something.
Luckily it went away after about a week. I still should have went to the Emergency Room. Something is seriously wrong when you can't walk.

Exactly. He's right that a lot of people fake it or exaggerate (usually to get off work and get vicodin), and I used to think "it can't be THAT bad" until it happened to me... |

I'd go to a doc first. If he has a kidney infection taking a big dose of any medication may be ill advised. |
