I pulled a back muscle

And OMG! I thought pregnancy symptoms sucked... This is the worst feeling ever! I did it Sunday night and couldn't walk without crying my head off until yesterday afternoon. Today I can walk, but I have to walk very slowly and with my back hunched over. I look like a 100 year old trying to walk.

I hope I pulled a back muscle and didn't slip a disc or anything. Has anyone else done this?

    Not as bad as that. Yikes.

    Can you go to a chiropractor? If you get the bones back in line you might recover more quickly.

    I haven't been to the doctor yet. I was told that if the pain starts to go away then it's a pulled muscle. Thankfully, the pain is getting tolerable, so I don't think it's a slipped disc. And from what I understand, there's nothing a doctor can do for a pulled muscle anyway. I see the OB tomorrow and will see what he says.

    But I will definitely start taking things a bit easier from now on. I planted flowers all day Sunday and then started helping DH with our pool Sunday night and that's when it happened. The first night was worse than labor!
