How do you know if you threw out your back?

Answer 1

Ohhhhh, you'd know it! You will feel it on the sides below the rib cage and possibly in the hips to legs. If you can't sit up straight, walk straight and have a nagging dull ache you've thrown your back out. Apply heat to it or sit in a hot top with a good full cup of Epsom Salts (bought at a drug store) and in that cup add boiling water so the crystals melt and add to warm bath water. Soak for a good half hour. Epsom Salts is not like regular salt and won't sting; it's good for wounds, aches, pains and sunburns. In four or five days if the aching doesn't go away then please see your doctor and perhaps Chiropractic treatment will help.

Answer 2

The only sure way is to get an MRI scan of your back. This is only useful if there are clear signs of nerve entrapment.

Answer 3

the pain will be excruciating, very little to be done though, except warm to hot showers and some heat, it will be better in a few days
