A member asked:
Can you tell me how long for a pulled lower back injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally a few days: Up to 6 weeks depending on the injury severity and your overall physical condition ; health as well as age. If symptoms persist or worsen or change in character such as pain traveling into leg(s) there may be not just a muscle injury and then you should be evaluated if the level or degree of symptoms warrant it.
