Diagnosis

After almost 2 weeks since I hurt my back, I finally went to see a doctor this morning. After asking me some questions; pressing different parts of the back and spine and lifting my legs to check for pain, he told me what I probably have is 'muscle spasm'. He went on to prescribe me some anti-spasm medication and asked me to take time off work this week. If my back still doesn't recover, I will have to go back for further investigation. The pain has been bearable without medication. I have a high threshold for pain and I avoid taking medication at all costs. Trouble is I have to walk very slowly and like a Leaning Tower of Pisa as I can't walk upright. If I sit for too long, I have difficulty getting up and the pain gets worse. So no bending over and lifting things as instructed by the doctor. I will have to send the hub to do the shopping then. Oh or internet shopping helps too. Hmmmm.
