i have severe back pain I dont know what i did. I was on my knees at work and leaned forward and over and got a severe shooting pain in lower back. I cant even stand up straight now and get comfortable while sleeping its only about 18 hours since it happened. What can i do, I have tried ice for 15 minutes but it seems to get worse after.

Hi welcome to the health care magic
According to history provided you are having severe back pain....
So for that examination of nerves, reflexes etc should be checked
The causes can be....
-ligament, muscle strain
-disc bulging
-arthritis
-ankylosing spondylitis (if walk by leaning forward)
-infection spine
-tumour etc.....
Mostly it might be related to strain but examination needed as pain is severe
MRI investigation done If needed
According to cause further specific treatment given
Until then ibuprofen can be taken for five days
Take care
Hope your concern solved
Consult orthopedic surgeon for examination and discuss all these

dear patient
after studying your case history you seem to have suffered from acute back sprain due to work in odd position for long time. this leads to back muscle spasm. this condition requires rest in supine position on hard bed for 3 days and muscle relaxant. you can take thiocolchicoside 8 mg twice a day along with acevlofenac 100 mg once a day. do hot water fomenting for your back.you wl be back on your feet within few days. all the best.
