Hi guys, so I have no idea what I have done to my lower back, but I've been in pain for the past 4 days. The pain is on my lower left side, in my kidney area, I can't move very well, and when I do I get an electric shock type of pain through my back. I couldn't straighten up or walk very well 2 days ago, so I went to the emergency department and he said its Mechanical back pain?? He checked my back, made sure it wasn't nerve related, and gave me a shot of an anti inflammatory, and Tylenol 3. Told me to see my doctor if it didn't get any better in 3 or 4 days, which I was going to go today, but we have had a lot of snow, and we are in a extreme cold warning and the roads are very icy, so couldn't go today. I've been soaking in a warm tub with Epsom salts, taking Tylenol 3, but I hate taking pills, and they make me nauseous, so I hope this goes away soon. Hubby has a Tens machine and is hooking me up to it as I'm typing this, so I hope it helps. I have never had a back ache or back problem before, but it's very painful. I hope this goes away soon.
