I m 41 and normal weight. I had a spinal fusion 2 years ago L5 S1 and recovered well, have had no trouble since then to be honest until today! I was bending to empty my dishwasher and something happened, it was very painful, not in the same spot as my fusion, it feels higher up. I ve been in bed all day because when I try to get up the pain brings tears to my eyes. I can already feel the tension in all of my muscles like neb=fore, I m afraid I m going down the same route.
Thanks for your question, First advice you to receive strong analgesia to relieve your pain as diclofenac 75 ampule IM injection in addition to muscle relaxant as tizanidine 4 mg once before sleep. Then do x-ray lumbosacral spine to know the condition now (exclude any break in the metal)
