Age 15, Lower Back, Disc Problems? Posted: 09-08-05 17:46pm
I didn't fall or bend or anything ( I
think) but at work today (i work as a lab
assistant in a university computer lab) I
suddenly leaned back and a shooting
unbearable pain that seemed to come from
my spine in the lower quadron soared
through my lower back. I don't know what
did it but as long as I keep my back
perfectly straight, it's only a bearable
(but uncomfortable) dull ache. I tried
ibuprofen, but it doesn't help much.
Anytime I twist, or bend it shoots out
again. My friend and coworker who is a
bodybuilder said it might be a pinched
nerve caused by an out-of-place spinal
disck, but I can't afford to throw money
around a doctor unless there's really
something wrong (something that can't be
helped with over-the-counter analgelsics)
with me.
