Severe back pain
Posted , 5 users are following.
I've been having severe pain in my back, it's unbearable, it worsens when I'm angry or under stress. It's feel like my back is being squeezed so much and the pain rises up my neck and I honestly don't know what to do. I do have a 1 year old and the pain started shortly after I had him. I just want to know what I can do I'm unable to do anything without my back aching and wanting to cry.

Ice 10 min heat 20 min..
if temporary ibuprofen,massages, tens unit,.
then on to relafin,Robaxin, xrays then next stage Lortab, percocet, Mri, steroid shots then surgery.
That will all take about 6-8 months after you start with your doctor..also a pain management doctor.

I had back pain for years and it was very difficult when I had two young children so I know what it's like.(Not the giving birth bit obviously, more the lifting, carrying and stress when they cried constantly).
Most people with back pain don't have any serious medical condition. More common causes are muscular tension and bad posture. The fact that it gets worse when you are angry or stressed may indicate excess tension.
IMHO you should get it checked out by a doctor and of course follow any medical advice. Try something like Yoga/TaiChi/Pilates if the doc says you should exercise.
I know it's difficult with a little one but try to get some time to yourself to de-stress. An exercise class is ideal.
Best wishes and let us know how you get on

The longer you leave a problem it could get more serious and long term problems in the future
