1. The best advice about the doctors, if the pain starts to interfere with your life see a doctor. It's possible you are having muscle spams either from a pulled muscle or some other injury. When you hurt your back the bodies response is to tighten your back muscles, and for some reason they spasm. It hurts, but can be treated. If you can lay on a heating pad ,as hot as your skin can handle, for 20-30 minutes every couple of hours, and take Tylenol as directed. If this doesn't help or the pain gets worse go see your doctor, or if you can, skip right to the orthopedic spine specialist. Don't see a chiropractor, they will turn a pulled muscle into slipped discs, popping your spine will not help you, and then you will have to go and see a spine specialist to fix what the chiropractor messed up.
