Pulled a back muscle :(

[Headley]

Think i tweaked a back muscle on Friday last week in the AM. Had to reach low and long to pull something 50 kilos along a shelf.

Not felt anything at all before getting out of the car tonight

Could just be a stiff muscle though

Go see a physio! The earlier you get treatment the better the outcome!

No lifting for a week
take something like voltaren
drink plenty of water

if you pulled a muscle you should be right to go after a week or two.

Depends on the injury.

Depends on the injury.

Example?

Example?

When I hurt my back and read a heap of Dr Stuart Mcgills books on backs who is one of the top worldwide experts on backs. From memory he said the research said that getting moving as soon as possible was beneficial for muscular back injuries over resting.

Disc and other injuries where different.

yes, that is what I go by too

Will have to keep active with work, fair bit of walking around and so forth so fingers crossed it won't make it worse.

Fortunately i work in IT for a retirement home. My office is located within their physio department so will see one of the girls tomorrow for some deep heat, a heat pack and a good rub.

yeah, totally.


I meant (rest) stay away from weight lifting

 

[Headley]

I love my work.

Working in a retirement home is great.

On one hand the Clinical Manager has given me a few pills to take (Panedine Forte + Neurofin), and the physio area have kept me supplied with awesome heat packs wrapped in a towel for me to lean against in my seat

 

[Headley]

Well at work again, time to get a heat pack

Tried getting some of those chinese ladies in the shopping centres to give you a good going over?






























... Perhaps even a massage too while you're at it

 

[Headley]

lol

Yeah should do...

Had one heat pack on this morning and no pain killers, feeling much better. Would be nearly normal again if i did take pain killers but no need for them today. Still keeping movement subdued... no gym, extra walking/running etc. Just the basics at work.

 

[Headley]

These heat packs are amazing. Woke up this morning feeling no back pain what so ever.

Got to work and i was feeling a little, so got another heat pack on. Never recovered as fast from a tweaked muscle before.

 

[Headley]

Shit.

My back was feeling all back to normal so i decided to get some physically demanding work done at work... now today the pulled muscle is back.

So, once again i have a heat pack and the clinical manager here handed me a couple of strong neurofen and a whole strip of some powerful codeine pills

I think you're just talking shit now and you're addicted to meds
