My lower back has been in pain for 3 days, what could be wrong?

Question

The pain is HORRIBLE. Its my entire lower back. I cant stretch to far, I cant bend down or pick things up. I didnt do anything to my back that could of cause this. At first I thought maybe I slept wrong and that it will go away, but its been the same now. I tried having it massaged and I even went to the hot tube for 2 days and it still hurts like heck ): I cant take the pain. What could be wrong and what can I do?

Btw, stretching it hurts like h**l.

Answer 1

I have the same problem, went to the doctor and he told me I have muscle spasm. Try using ThermaCare. it's works for pain. Go see your doctor and  hopefully he/she can tell you what's really wrong.

Answer 2

sounds like you sciatic nerve is pinched.

lay on floor (back side down) bring your knees up as far as you can towards your chest and roll side too side 20 times slowly repeat every few hours and take Ibrophen every 3 hours
