I had an appointment at 8:45am with my doctor, and of course the pain wasn’t -as- bad as it has been. I kept the appointment anyways because I was still in some pain and wanted to know what was going on with my back. So the bottom line --- muscle strain. He thinks I may have done it sleeping, since I did wake up with it last week. He gave me prescription Ibuprofen and a list of eight exercises to do. I did four of them earlier, and I’m going to do the other four later this evening. He said if it’s not better in two weeks, he’ll schedule an x-ray and I’ll possibly need physical therapy. However, he also said he doesn’t think it’ll be a problem in two weeks. My back does hurt a little more today, but I’m working on feeling better. I’m relieved it wasn’t anything serious, and to finally have some answers and treatment for it. Welp, there’s no need to make this longer than usual. I’m gonna wrap this up and get back to work. Take care, everyone. Photo Credit: Pixabay.

So your back still hurt... I have a friend also hurt his back like that... and his doctor thought that he might have some problem with his kidneys... He did have an Xray but now I can't remember the result... Take care..

Yeah. It's muscle strain, but if it's still hurting in a few weeks, I'll have an x-ray done. I hope your friend is okay.

So do you still have pains in your back?

I posted this in May when I had pulled a muscle in my back. I wound up getting X-rays done that July, and I think it finally healed in August. *Whew* I did have a backache the other day, but it was unrelated to this and went away. Backaches are no fun.

And just what were you doing in your sleep to put your back out? Hmmm?

Hope your back gets better. What are the exercises that the doctor asked you to do?

Thanks! It's a list of yoga/stretching exercises to strengthen the back.
