Two weeks ago I had a cold and was sick with a pretty bad cough. Well I started a coughing fit and I felt something pop in my lower back while I was sitting at the table. After it popped I had severe pain, I could hardly move it was hard to get up and sit down and even use my hands to reach over the table. It has been about two weeks since it happened and it still hurts. Especially when I try to look down I feel the pain in my lower middle back.  What could I have done and do I need a doctor? Will it heal on its own?
Hi, It seems that due to bad cough there might behave some strain and spasm of mid back muscles producing this pain. Take analgesic medicine like Diclofenac with muscle relaxant to get cure. Apply muscle relaxant cream on the part. Ok and take care.
