i put my back out - day 2

Get to an osteopath or chiropractor asap - they're usually available for short notice appointments, ours is even open on Sundays, thank the lord.

If they can't solve it completely, they'll at least be able to relieve some of the pain for you with accupuncture etc.

You have my sympathy, H was crippled with back pain last year and it was hell

Ugh, I share your pain. Until the inflammation goes I don't think there's much you can do. At its worst I had to get the oncall GP out to give me a shot of morphine in my arse. Actually, that was brilliant. ?

My chiropractor only works week days. i'm holding out til monday morning.

the not being able to sleep is pretty bad too.
