Should I worry?

[Anonymous]

i was laying down earlier and i started feeling a slight pain in my lower back and i popped it and it was still there so not soreness by default i was working out earlier today like chest and arched my back during it and i did some stretching earlier and now i have pain in the lower right side of my back and it hurts when i bend forward i am worried i could have a herniated disc but it said it doesn’t usually happen to younger people what do y’all think it could be should i worry or is it probably just a strained muscle or sore back it is in the lower part and sucks when i bend forward mostly and lean to the right side not the left though what’s your thoughts

You are to young to have a herniated disc. A herniation is more prevalent when you get older. Right now your discs are young soft and healthy. More than likely a strain.

Try ice and a heating pad.

i’ve taken a half a hydrocodone for the pain and been using ice pads and hot baths but it still hurts what do you think it could be

Possibly a pulled muscle. Keep a heating pad on over night.

it was crippling at first but after icing it and a hot bath and some pain meds and being active during the day it has lessened a lot so would you say it was probably just a muscle?
