Could I have done major damage to my back? Is this normal?

[Anonymous]

I had to move yesturday out of my dorm and I had a lot of heavy things (4 things more than half my size and a box that was super heavy) and move these heavy metal dressers and lif them out of the deep moving rolling carts that they were in.. I cleaned my dorm since Id been cleaning and moving from 3 noon to 3am because i had so many things and they gave 2 days :(

My lower back doesn't hurt, but it feels strange on the left side? like not major but i just feel it when i didn't previously.

I've never had to do so much lifting repetively for a long time, and i also noticed spotting (ifs after my period) the next day.

I don't know if im tired or if its fatigue, but i feel like laying in bed for a long time, i slept for 5 hours after the move and took a nap for 3 hours again and I feel like just laying down...

I dont have achy arms or anything i just feel weaker. ;/ but i would think i should feel better now, im worried about having the early stages of a spine infection or somehting, i have a family memebr that got one and it looked painful.

don't worry. It's similar to the way you feel after a tough workout or when you exercise too hard. pain that lasts for 1-2 days means that your muscles grow stronger. pain that lasts for 3-4 days means what you did was way more than what you're usually capable of, and it put a lot of strain to your muscles and probably caused some small injuries. In both cases there's nothing to worry about, unless you feel like you burn with pain or you find it difficult doing routine stuff like bending or walking.

If you rest and relax later on you should be okay. Avoid strained activity for at least 3-4 weeks.
