Yup. I landed squarely on the lumbar portion of my back. That was supremely painful. In my mind, I’m not ruling out a med-evac to get to where I can get a good picture of what has happened. We did get x-rays and so were able to rule out fractures.

Maybe I’m being pessimistic because it just does take time to heal.

All too human failing.

I don't know how badly you're hurt, and I don't know if you have access to this...but Ben Gay..patches are wonderful!...(I should buy stock in them)....they go on icy cold, and then warm up & the medicine soaks in for hours.

Also, do you have a good support brace, something elastic, that will cinch in your muscles and give you support as you walk around...
...to be worn a while....taken off....then worn some more.
..I don't know what you have access to.

Did you ice it first...?
..that's recommended...

If it's muscles....they just take time....

I have done the most stupid things to throw my back out...

Rest a lot, but move too....you need to move...

..also, I know a good stretching exercise...I'll go to Private mail now....also to rec. a good medication.
