Hey guys, wondered if anyone has had a similar injury and what you did to rehab it and how long your recovery was. I was loading my girlfriend's monster Saint Bernard into the back of my truck the other day to take him to the vet. He put his front legs up in the truck, and I just scooped his back end up and lifted him into the truck. One problem, this dog weighs about 200lbs and when I did it, I immediately started feeling pain in the lower lumbar portion of my back. It's been 3 days and I can't really tell it's gotten any better. Surely i didn't herniate a damn disc, but I dunno? It is difficult to walk normally sometimes, and then sometimes it feels a little better. But right now, as it is, I can't do shit...just lay around and try to wait it out. What would ya'll recommend? Should I try a chiropractor or go straight to a doctor and MRI? I want this fixed soon...I start medical school Aug 21 and don't want to be dealing with this crap. Thanks!
