A member asked:
Bent over yesterday and had severe pain in lower back. got a bit better yesterday but is very stiff this morning. muscle or disc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be either but : The good news is that most acute back pains without radiating pain to legs are better within 2 weeks of onset. Do most never get diagnosed as the pain is self limiting . Always be careful of hoe you lift and bend while maintaining a healthy lifestyle of exercise, weight control and never using tobacco products.
