Can it be 'slip disk'?

Hey guys. I noticed about 2 hours ago, the back ache I had from morning just got worse and it's definitely doesn't feel like a muscular sprain. Is there any possibility for it to be a 'slip disk'? Should I visit a physician?

Did you lift something heavy? There is a gel called voltarene. You can try to use it. It helps to alleviate pain

Of course, you should. Since when do people get healed via the internet?

@jesroash I've heard that this is not advisable for laypeople. Physicians don't study medicine for nothing.

if it only just started today, I would say try taking a hot bath, or laying with a heating pad or maybe some pain meds and rest. if it hurts after a few days then maybe make an appointment but sometimes it can be due to just sleeping wrong or something.

For now maybe try a nice hot shower and see how it feels tomorrow. Backs are tricky. If it's still bothering you, i would go get it checked out. Hope you feel better.

I have several slipped and fractured discs @jesroash . I live with pain every day. If you have a slipped disc an x-ray will show it and you could then see a chiropractor to shift it back into place. You may also want to try some Yoga stretches.

@jesroash You are welcome. I went from being 5'11" down to 5'8" because of the spinal problems and the spinal cord is being pinched because of it. Some day I could be paralyzed from the neck down. So don't wait to have it checked. Better to be safe than really sorry some day.

I highly recommend to go to the doctor Specially if it is really painful. God bless and have a great day. Our back is very important and we can't work that much when something discomfort us.

Have you tried using pain medication and resting? I think it would be a good idea to visit a physician if there is no improvement after a few days or if you are unable to move much right now.

It aches when i move but is bearable. And I'm going to apply a spray for muscular pains after a while.
