How did you hurt your back ? Looks like quite serious pain like this. I've had a few times too and it really sucks. It just happen like this, I don't even know how I hurt myself. But I didn't do anything for treatment, just take the pain and let it recover by itself. And I suffer a few days, I think 2-3 days. But I don't want you to suffer :( , it's quite pain and you can't move a lot. A lot of things you can't do for now.
Here's some info I got from Google and I hope it can help you.
Back sprains are of three types;
- A mild or (grade I) strain, which is tearing of some ligament fibers, with associated muscle spasm. There is no loss of function.
- A moderate or (grade II) sprain, which is a rupture of a portion of the ligament, resulting in some loss of function.
- A severe or (grade III sprain), which is a complete rupture of the ligament or complete separation of the ligament from the bone. There is total loss of function. A severe sprain may require surgical repair.
What treatment should I use for a lower back sprain?
Treatment should consist of following your doctor's instructions. Some supplemental first aids are the "R.I.C.E." instructions: Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation (if possible). Don't move the person until a litter or spine board can be obtained for safe transport. If the doctor does not apply tape or elastic bandage then it is helpful, as continuing care, to use an ice pack 3 or 4 times a day for 20 minutes at a time. Place ice chips or cubes in a plastic bag. Wrap the bag in a moist towel, and place it over the injured area. After the first 72 hours, apply heat instead of ice if it feels better. Use heat lamps, hot soaks, showers, heating pads or heat liniments and ointments. Take whirlpool treatments, if available.
How are back strains and sprains treated?
The treatment for strains and sprains is similar, and often done in two phases. The goal of the first phase is to reduce the pain and spasm. This may involve rest, and the use of ice packs and compression (pressure), especially for the first 24 to 48 hours after the injury. An over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, such as ibuprofen (Motrin®), may be recommended to help reduce pain and swelling.
After the first 24 to 48 hours, returning to normal activities as tolerated is advisable. Prolonged bed rest or immobility prolongs symptoms and delays recovery. Most people with lumbar strain/sprain symptoms improve in about 2 weeks. If symptoms continue for more than 2 weeks, additional treatment may be required. Some of these info it's like a bit OVER one. Just remember to take more rest on bed okay ? Just bear with it awhile and everything will be okay in few days.
Don't carry heavy things.
Don't drink ice or cold drink.
Don't take cold water to shower.
Don't move a lot.
Looks like I'm very annoying hor ? It's like a bit too strict ? Hahaa.. But I want you to recover ASAP. So you don't get to suffer so much :( Just remember to take more rest okay ? After you recover, you're free again. Just a few days only, take good care alright. I wonder if you'll read my blog or not but I'll still post it in case if you really read my blog and I hope it can help you.
My last 2 post it's about eye twitching that I mentioned before, my left eye keep jumping one. Means something bad gonna happen. Alright look, I'm not a a superstitious people but things do happen like this. You sprain your back :( Come on, why don't this bad stuff happen on me ? Don't hurt her, she's a good innocent girl over there. Those bad stuff wanna look for someone, just bring it to me. I'm tough enough to have all this. Just leave her alone.
Hope later when you're awake, your back will be better than yesterday. Just remember to take more rest ah. I know I'm quite nagging here, because I'm not there :(
Take care well alright ?
Have a good sleep and sweetdream.
Miss you.
