Help! I have what my doctor termed a
"lower lumbar sprain". It's a dull ache
(sharp pain when pushed too far) in the
lower portion of my back to the side of my
spine. The pain goes away when i'm
running, which is why I tend to believe
his diagnosis. However, it doesn't seem
to be getting any better. I know exactly
when I did it, it was about 16 years ago,
I felt it snap as I was help a friend move
( at that time it put me on my back for
about a week). Recently the pain has
come back, as of about 6 months ago,
naproxin helps but only for a while. Any
suggestions for long term relief? Thanks
in advance!

Have you ever had a mri done to see if you
herniated any discs or anything?
