I injured my back shoveling the 16 inches of snow off my driveway last Sunday. Was lifting up a shovelfull and felt a sharp twinge in the lumbar region of my back. This has happened to me before, but usually after a couple days of anti-inflammatories and heat it gets better. Well, not this week. I can barely stand up straight and have since had to take time off of work. I will be visiting the MD tomorrow. Until then the pain sucks....other than the two above, any suggestions for helping injured backs?
