Is there a doctor in the house?

Is there a doctor in the house?
Three days ago I had to pick up and carry my Labrador (long story) well when I went to put him down, a sudden and fucking awful pain shot into my lower back, it knocked me to the floor. Greentexting now
>Fall to ground, lay there for about ten minutes
>am able to get up with help, lots of crampy burning type feelings, walking was difficult but manageable
>do my daily shit in town
>by the time I'm home the pain is maybe a 5
>go take hot bath
>have trouble sitting up, get out bath with difficulty,gf helps me get out
>lay down in bed, painpainpain
>30 minutes after resting I try to get up
>holy fucking shit somone is ripping out my spine
>most horrible pain I have ever felt
>decide to rest for the day
>fast forward to today
>still can't sit up, can barely roll over
>can move arms and legs somewhat, no numbness
>still can NOT sit up, back locks up like a molten hot vice
>not tender to the touch
>nonemergency line just tells me to go to a doctor
>amerifag, no money or insurance

Anyone ever had this? Is it a wait and see kind of thing or am I gonna die in this bed?

Sounds like you slipped or pinched a disk there fag. You should definetely go to the emergency room. If its leaking fluid at one point your bones are gunna start to rub and that shit hurts

pinched or slipped disk. if you dont have insurance this is going to be very costly.
nothing regarding health should be a "wait and see" issue. very few medical issues resolve themselves.

Thats why you get insurance dumb fuck, thatd set you back maybe 80 a month, now youre gunna need surgery/surgeries, physical therapy, and most likely an expensive narcitic addiction. So several hundred thousand dollars

80 a month insurance? Where do you live because i have to pay 213 a montb.

CA i can cover my whole family (3 people) on pretty decent insurance (blue cross silver tier) and its 99 a month.

if he's american, then getting insurance would be like signing your life away. Thanks to Obama care, insurance is fucking overpriced.

Well FUCK
What can I do until tomarrow? Is there any chance of me trying to move and work this shit out? I have NO wired feelings in my legs. It just hurts to move them too fast.
I took a flexiril..
Fuck.

Well then fuck you. America if different, can't afford health insurance.

I am not a doctor, but i know sometimes (older people) have this thing when your back gets "pinched" (i dont know if there is a word for it in english), basically from a bad move. Time heals it tho, but you cant really move for like 1-2 weeks

And yeah, I now wish I could afford it. Now I need it. Lesson learned.

I live in america. Thats CA for california friend. And its not like were poor and getting crazy subsidies, we make about 40k a year.

you herniated a disk and need to see a doctor or you risk being in permanent pain for the rest of your life

1. learn how to pick up things and put them down stupid, do you think you've been hearing "lift with your legs not with your back" your entire life for no reason?
2. go to the emergency room. it doesn't matter if you have money, you will get the bill later

Oh god I hope it's just pinched..
Btw thanks guys, you're surprising me with your actual answers and I appreciate the fuck out of you.

heating pad to affected area should help relieve some pain. any advice right now is palliative (relieving symptoms, not addressing the cause), but this is something that cannot and will not resolve itself properly.

How old are you btw? Just curious

>have trouble sitting up, get out bath with difficulty,gf helps me get out

post pics of gf

22 :/

I wouldnt work with it. Itll make it worse if it is one of those. And on the off chance you cracked a vertebrae then you could do some serious damage. Call in, go to the hospital man. Just bite the bullet and do it.

Also ca is for california. I live in america.

Fuck. Alright. Think I'll be ok until morning? Today is day three.
I'm just worried I'll go in and they'll cost me thousands just for them to say 'lol it's a pulled muscle here's some cream"

Im gonna blame the cananda cali mixup on my pain. My bad

I mean depending where you are you could go to an urgent care, itd be les expensive but not all of them are equipped with everything theyd need to find out, ct,xray. Has it got any better in the 3 days or worse, or same. If it hasnt gotten any better its not muscle pain..

...

It's been better in the morning, but as soon as I move wrong, my back locks up like a vice and I'm down for the count all over again..
Day one
>can't move at all after getting out of run
Day two
>can roll on my side with some discomfort
>can't lift legs very much but they move
>sat up with allot of help from gf, but it was short lived
Day 3 today
>can't sit up at all
>cant really roll over, I tried and it takes litteraly 5 minutes and it's painful

Out of tub*
And yesterday I was able to play Vidya with gf with my head propped.
So I would say it gets better in some respects then worse in others.

could very well be muscular. My back goes out periodically and I can't stand up straight or do anything for like 4 or 5 days. Just take ibupropen and flexiril. Finally went to the back specialists thinking it was a disk and maybe surgery would fix it. Nope after xrays it's just weak lower back muscles and basically if I do to much I "sprain" my lower back. Physical therapy and exercise help, but can't really be fixed.

pinched nerve or pulled muscle (in your back, around the spine)

Take some NSAID... non-steroid anti-inflamatory drugs... aspirin, aleve, ibprofen, etc ... it helps to reduce the pain and should be taken all day long, to aid in reducing the swelling in the tissue (it was most likely a pinched nerve)

I use aleve, go with that

I hope it's just a muscle but I can't even begin to process of standing up, I can't raise myself up more than I'd say...15 or 20 degrees and even that is with some shitty pain.
I guess the basic conclusion is, if by tomorrow morning I'm not fully sitting up , bite the bullet and go.
Shit sucks, you guys were super helpful though..thank you.

Hmmm thats tough. It really does seem like you did something to your disks but straining your back muscles can be pretty painful and i have no idea your level of pain tolerance. Id still say go to urgent care to be sure man. I mean worst case you paid a bit for peace of mind. But if something really is wrong youd be better off knowing.
Dont take chances with your back, it can lead to life ling agony. My dad slipped 3 disks when he was in his 30s. And 34 years later after 4 surgeries, 3 different narcotics hes had to be taken off of for addictive reasons and endless physical therapy he still has a lot of pain

It does suck. seriously bad. I can barely feed myself when my back is out. I have to walk totally bent over and even that is painful.

I love this, by the way.

I'll keep you in my thoughts man, I really hope this is magically gone tomarrow..

This sounds like exactly what happened to me. OP, Look up herniated L5 S1 disk. What you're describing and what happened to me is what happened to you.

sounds like you fucked your back good op

Go to a chiropractor.

unload your back, you can easily do this with two chairs or anything stable enough to hold your body up with your arms, like olympic rings. Let your body weight let your spine decompress for small relief.

pinched nerve.

you dumb faggot

What all did you have to do for it!?
Am I gonna have to be counted as disabled?
I had no leg pain until today tho , and it's light and my knee kinda hurts.
To thank you guys for actual info, here's the story of how I needed to poop yesterday but couldn't move
>have to poop BAD
>gf gets like, 4 walmart bags and a dog food dish
>the shame is already building
>she helps me roll over
>puts dog food dish under my ass, out bags over my ads to catch most of the turd
>suddenly the shame is great
>GET OUT GF DON'T LOOK
>she stands a good distance away from the door
>start painfully pooping into a fucking walmart bag
>I didn't spread my ass cheek
>poop is smearing between my cheeks as it comes out
>I'm gagging
>and in pain
>go to scoop out smeared poop with another walmart bag
>GET POOP ON MY HAND
>painful gagging
>ass crack is full of poop
>use whole roll of toilet paper while my gf gets wet paper towels for me
>shame
>make her check my asshole
>it's finally clean
>gf takes poop bag outside for me and throws it in the trash
>hand smelled like poop
>gagging
>make gf get me a bowl to wash hands in
>still smelled like poop
>mfw I shat in a bag while on my bed and my gf had to handle my hot buttbaby

Pinched nerve, slipped disk hell might even be a torn muscle or ligament. Either of those would put you on your ass for days, or even weeks/months. Especially the slipped disk.

Go see a doc, don't worry about paying the hospital back, just don't dodge the calls when they start asking for payments. Just tell them upright that you can't afford to pay it and they'll most likely waive it (hospitals have insurance too for this reason) or work out a decent payment plan.

tl;dr: don't fuck around with your back. Go see a doc

Top fucking kek

Your girl seems like a nice person.
Also
AHAHHAHA you pooped on your hand.

Herniated disc brother. Have fun, ive got 3 of them. Go to Dr. Get steroroid pack to help shrink swelling. Then chiropractor to realign, stretch and massage. Once ur realigned, 3 appts maybe, u can have ur gf stretch u. Inversion tables might help.. U can find then for just over 100.

I had a minor toothache yesterday but you dont hear me compaining. Grow some balls pussy.

Yeh, I'm gonna go first thing tomarrow.
I can't get in the car tho, so I guess I gotta call 911.
And I kind of have to poop again but I don't want to put her through the walmart bag ordeal again, even though she was really understanding and laughed about it. The room smelled like shit for the rest of the day.
Kill me guys. Just fucking end me.

>3 of em
Jesus Christ, you win.

I've always wanted a teeter hangup, now I need one. Damnit.
