Back Surgery.

Anyone ever had one? I heard a loud pop in my back helping a neighbor lifting a 500 lbs grill out of his side job food truck. Painful. I have not been to the hospital yet but the "pop" sound scared me.

I can't even walk slow without pain.

Lol, I laugh at bad times. Gotta have fun with life no matter what. Only 1 time to live it. I've been through alot. This back shit is very difficult. I am hard headed, never ask for help.

Maybe DBall007.50 at theaters soon.
 
When I was 24, I'm 52 now, I was leaning over an instrument at work, and felt and heard a loud pop in my low back. It sounded like someone hit me in the back with a baseball bat. I had to limp to my car and drive home. Doctor muscle relaxers and I was on bed rest for about a week.

It went away. Lay flat on your back, with your butt against the bed or chair or sofa. This is like traction, which will release the muscles and help thing go back into position.
 
I went to a chiropractor. He helped my posture, and had to use a device to get proper curvature in my neck. I don't go anymore, but those things did help me.

I will be 49 in August. Spent many nights straight laying on my back on a piece of plywood. That is what I am doing.

You probably busted a disc, Surgery is the final option and if Possible I would avoid. Do physical therapy, chiropractor and massage for few weeks and see where that gets you

Thanks for the info, it is basically saying the same thing with my research.

I appreciate it.

That is the worst tipp you could give. A chiropractor knows exactly ONE skill to help and no matter what in most cases he will try to manipulate even if its dogshit and excacerbates the problems.

If there was a loud pop and pain go to a doc and get an x-ray maybe even an MRI to be sure. You can look up a PT but only if he is versed in clinical diagnostics. DONT go to a chiropractor. I know of chiropractors who manipulated after a stroke when the signs were very clear and more horror stories.

Most cases even if its a disc prolaps theres no need for surgery but rest and physical therapy.

Chiros are hit and miss. There is shit ones that are scams but ive been to some good ones before too.

Used to go to this old Taiwanese guy and he was fucken master. He used a weird adjustment technique that I hadnt seen in other places but damn did it help! I made significant improvements after I went there a few times.

Why would you ever do that? Unless you are banging the neighbor, i still wouldn't tbh
 
Most back pain will be resolved without the need for surgery.
If you go to doctor they will most likely prescribe you ibuprofen, muscle relaxers and physical therapy. Possibly a steroid pack. MRI can be done later if the pain persists or radiates down leg.
If you are having numbness in your feet or loss of bladder control seek medical help immediately.
 
definitely see the ortho first and get that MRI

back surgery should always be a last resort
