I could not get into my urgent care nor do i want to go in person but i have severely injured my back. i've been dealing with this for 5 days. my left hand goes numb and the pain shoots down my leg. i'm in good shape but lifted heavy mulch?

Back injury: Many people who have lift injuries can experience back pain that can radiate to the leg(s). This can be due to muscle strain and spasm, or compression of nerves in the back, around the discs in the back. As you plan being seen by a provider,ice directly on the back for 20 min every 1-2 hrs can help. Over the counter ibuprofen can help. The hand sx can be seen due to strain injury.
