A member asked:
How dangerous is a sprained lumbar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It should not be: Dangerous for you, as long as it is just a sprained lumbar muscle or ligament, which is fairly common and you should recover in a few days. That is assuming it is the right diagnosis. If you are having pain radiate anywhere, then it may not be just a sprain.
