I hurt my back, but what can I do for it?

I felt a pinching spasm in the right center of my back, below shoulder.

I have never felt anything limke that and not to mention I was carrying my 6m old (20 punder)

I'm scared, I'm not sure if its seious enough to call doc, or what to do.

Could I have just pulled a muscle? Or is it more to do with spine? Pain is non stop, and worse when I stand

I would go to the walk in. Let them check it out and they will let you know if you need to do something more.

It sounds like you just pulled something but you never know

Feel better!! And try Salonpas Pain Relief Patches! They really help me a lot with back pain

Sounds like you may just have a irritated nerve. Take a hot shower, as hot as you can stand it, get DH to massage it and put a heating pad on it. Also take either Alleve or Motrin, which are anti-inflammatories. If it gets worse, see a doctor.

Feel better!

I did this with my neck last month - i couldn't even move!! Take a hot shower, use a heating pad or a thermacare patch. I went to a doctor and naproxen which is a little stronger than aleve and that helped. Feel better - it's the worst and even harder when you ahve to take care of your little one!!!!
