Pulled Muscles or Pinched Nerve08/06/2007 |
I have recently pulled several muscles in my lower back area. Most of the pain has gone away but still most stiffness. Now I am having some new symptoms burning, tingling, numbness, and burning do you think I might have pinched a nerve where I had pulled my muscles. I been applying ice can I use heat to. What should I do.
The deep muscle spasm takes a long time to heal, I advise you to ask your PCP to get you a TENS unit, as well be aware that if you starts developing weakness in the legs or the symptoms did not improve after 6 weeks of the injury you need to seek expert advice.
