Well I went to see the Dr yesterday. She is inclined to believe the nerve pain is being caused by inflammation. So for the next few days I get to take Prednisone and a muscle relaxer. She also wants me on a 20lb lifting restriction and to follow up next week to see how I feel. I have had plenty of sore, achy muscles in my life but back pain SUCKS.
I hope that helps. No expert here but my understanding is that this kind of pain may be caused by some sort of pressure on the nerve. Either tissue inflation and swelling or stenosis of the spine or other bone abnormality/injury. The prednisone and muscle relaxers may help, and I hope they do. But if it’s chronic and recurring the doc may need X-rays or MRI’s to further diagnose it. Then on to the specialists...
Good luck and hope the medications get you some relief, even if temporary.
