AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a user experiencing sharp, stinging pain in the lower back, which does not hurt at rest or during running. The user is uncertain whether the symptoms indicate a pulled or strained muscle and seeks advice on recovery methods. They have tried deep heat, arnica oil, and heat wraps, which previously helped with neck strain. Suggestions from other participants include the possibility of a trapped nerve and the recommendation to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis. Additionally, visiting a chiropractor or osteopath is advised, as they may provide more specialized knowledge about spinal issues than a general practitioner.

ok so i need a bit of help

ok I'm not sure what i have but to describe it: It is in my lower back. It doesn't hurt when i don't use my back, doesn't hurt too much when i run. When it hurts it's a sharp stining pain. Do these sypmtoms sound like a pulled muscle or a strained muscle. What are the best ways to recover from muscle pain? I've messaged it with deep heat and arnica oil. I've put a heat wrap on it aswell. The reason I've doen those things is that when I've strained my neck muscle they have worked. By the way i know time is probably the best solution however I'm looking for any other tips or things i could do to speed up the process

thanks

Hi Muddy! :smile:

Neck … lower back … looks like the same problem with different symptoms.

Go to a chiropractor (or osteopath) … they know a lot more about the spine than your doctor does. :smile:
 
Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
