    Default Back strain

    My wife just started dancing again and she injured her lower back while working on the pole. Shes in a lot of pain...Took her to the ER, nothing broken, appears to be a very bad muscle pull but we're scheduled to go for an MRI on Monday. Dr gave her Pain meds and anti inflammatory. She also using ice packs.

    Any advice on treatments that have worked for you in the past?


    Thanks,

    OH yes, i wore a back brace, it forces you not to turn or twist the back, but stay upright. Very uncomfortable, but i recieved my scan right then and there. Until Monday, she should not twist or turn, and the anti inflamitory meds, will only go so far for a pulled muscle. Muscle pulls hurt bad (as she knows) But they heal quickly! With Rest and relaxation.
    For a pulled muscle i was told to rotate cold with a heating pad every few hours. You may want to call the ER and ask. I took regular Ibuprofin. It also has anti inflamitory properties. Non addictive.
    Good luck, and the best thing for her to NOT Do, is use her back for anything, but i would think she would have recieved something to help hold her in a straight position, plastic back brace, so she does not further pull muscles that need to heal up, or keep agravating the ones that are pulled already. When some muscles are pulled it puts a strain on the others to work harder to suport her back. If they said bed, make her. Pulled muscles heal quick!!!

    she might look into wearing boots until she recovers. boots support the ankle thus putting less pressure on the lower back. the best of recoveries too her.
