A member asked:
So i'm curious if i damaged the muscles in my lower back, should i see a doctor?

Perhaps: It depends on how severe you injured yourself, and whether or not you are improving. If you are improving and can control your discomfort with simple things like over the counter medication, heat, cold, gentle exercise, you may not need to see anyone. If you are worsening or failing to improve, consider seeing your primary doctor or a back specialist.
