I'm NEW here..

Hi Aimee and welcome to the forum. Your injury is very new still, even though it may seem like too long when you're in pain, to worry too much. I used to have muscle spasms that would last weeks and sometimes literally couldn't move without gasping in pain for days. My doctor advised that if it hurt that much to move, and it did, that I get into my recliner and stay there until it didn't hurt to move. He claimed my muscles were in a 'protective mode' and doing what they should. That intense pain always did subside and as such, were not a serious enough injury to warrant further treatment.

A herniated disc is another matter, which an MRI will reveal. Your doctor might order one if your pain rediates into your hips or down your legs, or the pain does not subside for awhile but we're getting way ahead of ourselves. Rest, rest, rest should be the order of the day

Good luck to you, Dale
