Ow. I am still a bit under the weather due to a nasty cold. Anyway, this morning I was in the bathroom coughing up some green stuff...and the coughs were particularly violent. I threw out my back.
I'm having what seems to be muscle spasms in my lower lower back. I don't know what to do.
To make things worse, tomorrow is the first official day of practice for the university swim team. I really want to go, and I really want to swim.
How do I fix this so I can swim by tomorrow? And should I tell my coach what I did today via e-mail? Will she believe me? Since it's the start of the season, will I even get to stay on the team after this? Help me.
Update: I went and saw a Doc at my student care center today. Apparently I have Piriformis Syndrome which is causing sciatica in my left side. 4-6 weeks to heal. Anyone had this before?
Green Stuff = Nasty Cold and it will run it's course......... on the other hand.. coughing and having a sharp pain in the back could be another matter.
Most people that herniate-throw their back out - create bulging discs or what other way you want to call it .. have done so while coughing/sneezing. This could be a disc problem. Have it checked out. If you can move around then it probably isn't too serious.
Have you tried an inversion table ?
I have used an inversion table for almost 6 months and now i am ok. What is your status?
