Well, I managed to pull all the muscles in my upper/lower back over a week ago. I rec'd this injury from lifting a student out of a wheelchair three times a day for a couple of weeks then another student punched my back four times between my shoulder blades. I broke my tailbone June 24th of this year and managed to agrivate it even more while sledding during December. Anyway, my doc. presc. muscle relaxers and ppills along with massage therapy. My spine is fine, it is just muscle. Tailbones take forever, if ever, to heal. I cannot take anti-inflamitories.
Question: I went for massage therapy. I was on my back, ice/heat, for the entire weekend. My hips hurt to even move or even lay down. Standing up was better but I can't stand all day/night. I felt better this morning. I went for massage therapy again today. Same thing AGAIN I am in pain, on my back, ice/heat, it hurts to take the laundry out of the washing machine, my hips are killing me. Is this normal??????? I'm thinking of doing some Yoga when I get this pain under control and just stretching out my back. I called the doctor and see him tomorrow, again.
Any thoughts, suggestions, similar stories?
