Back pain after lift: May be sciatica. Should have an MRI to check for herniation , impingement and it may even show fracture. Advil/ motrin /aleve 200 mg 2 tab 3 x a day w/ food-stop for stomach pain. There are also muscle relaxants like flexeril, (cyclobenzaprine hcl) sometimes we use prednisone to stop the inflammation,arnica cream and kinesiotape may help.
