my back went at 2pm sunday afternoon, i was picking my very large baby outta his cot and my whole lower back spasmed.  i managed to get onto bed and thats where i've stayed when the nurse came out yesterday morning she asked if muscular or i thought cud be slipped disk, as my whole lower back was locked and pure agony to touch i said muscular, now i've had injection of anti inflamatories and valium muscle relaxant and cocodamol i can move to a sitting position (well kind of) but then the pressure on the bottom of my back becomes unbearable and i cant feel my legs.  has any1 had similar and does it sound like trapped nerve or slipped disc? any advice appreciated x

i hav en't hun but sounds very painful, are you going to see a specialist at all

soon as i can walk made the loo 3 times today hunched over but progress x

Sorry to hear your suffering..... can't really help as never had problems with my back

I was medically discharged from the fire service following a fall from a roof which damaged my back, when mine goes, the only way I can ease it is to kneel down and curl up and stretch my back as hard as I can, it hurts like hell but relieves the pain somewhat.

My lot laugh their conker off when they see me doing it, I suppose it does look funny to them watching me stretch and shout, but what the hell it works.

thanks hun will give that a go, no longer feels like all in spasm now feels tight and pressure at bottom, bring back the rack i say wud help, plus i may get to 5ft 2 petite lol x

Glad it's feeling better. I got advised to lie on stomach and push up with arms to arch back. Helped mine a few weeks back

I did my back in in Jan Dix.......
