Muscle Spasm

[GypsyGSD]

I've had back ache for few days now,but this morning the small of my back just went into what I think was a spasm it felt like a elastic band going twang right across middle of my back I have had a spinal fracture 18 months ago due to osteoporosis any ideas please still in pain and can't see doctor till Monday

Almost certainly no big deal from what you have described and i agree that it sounds like .."muscle spasm."
Analgesics such as Ibuprofen 400mgms every 4 hours should see you well until Monday.

Just watch out for difficulty in passing water and weakness in the legs and if they do occur then get to A&E.

Almost certainly nothing to worry about and is associated probably with a bit of arthritis in your spine secondary to your spinal fracture.

Thank you squad ,I'm thinking had lots of stress last few weeks, that might have added to it boy did it hurt worse than fracture so glad your on this site, bless you x

In addition either a warm soak or cold compress which ever suits you best. I always go for ice pack but you need to be able to relax if possible as the more you hold yourself stiff the worse it will feel and the longer it will remain painful. Keep mobile but nothing strenuous.

Thanks again for replies, I would love a soak in bath but due to osteoporosis its impossible but using heat pad at moment and moving every half hour little walk around house c
