Hello, I woke up this morning with sever lower back pain rendering me almost unable to walk and having to use crutches to help with the weight bearing aspect of it all, Is this something to be concerned about or maybe just a wrong twist or turn in the night? I wasn t awakened in the night with pain ,nor did I have any pain before I went to bed. It has continued for several hours, I have tried aspirin/ice/heating pad not much relief at all, when I get up and set it aggravates the pain to a point I must lay back down, I have a had a headache off and on with it but no nausea. I do have mild spinal stenosis with disc slippage. Not needing surgery at this point. I am just getting over a sever head cold/sinus infection that lasted 3 weeks. That left me really tired and weak and seem to be having a hard time getting back to my old self. I don t really like going to the doctor unless I think it is really medically necessary or cant stand the pain. Is this something to be concerned about or just maybe more ice/heat/aspirin?
