so last night i was jumping on my tramp with my gopro, just goofin and stuff and i was just jumping normally and i felt a super sharp pain in my spine, i stopped jumping and went inside. It didnt hurt too much last night but i could still feel it pretty good. this morning i woke up and I can't sit, lay down, or stand without feeling instense pain in my back. when i walk around i wheeze and its the most uncomfortable thing.

i've felt this before after landing switch when i was skiing and my head went down too fast or something. so I think i've got torn ligaments cause thats what my physiotherapist told me last time.

normally i'd just tell my mom to make an appointment but she's out of town for the weekend and my dad is golfing somewhere.

so im the only one home and i feel like im dying. i took like 4 motrins and went in my neighbour's hottub for a little bit thinking it might help. not really.

any advice, ns, on how i can relieve my pain for a while?

Just don't go to university hospital bro, last time I was there I heard all the nurses talking about how low they scored compared to the other hospitals in London on their reviews

yeah go to the hospital, there are ligaments all in and around ur vertebrae, its quite possible u tore or strained a few. Oh, and for future reference its Physical therapist, not physiotherapist [IMG]spineuniverse.com/sites/default/files/legacy-images/ligaments-BB.jpg[/IMG] as u can see here, what ligaments do is connect bone to bone, and in the thoracic cervical and lumbar vertebrae it is literally all in and around the individual vertebral discs surrounding the fibrocartilage between them. So get checked out

i have chronic back pains and i just lay flat on my back and try to bring my knees to my chest to slowly stretch it. ice will help alot, ice for like 15 minutes. you might have a pinched nerve which kills but it goes away after a little while.
good luck man, smoke some weed, it will take your mind off the pain.

actually no, heat treatment or thermotherapy is used for chronic aches and pains, and helps blood flow to the area thus helping recovery. Cold treatments or cyrotherapy is used similarly, but mainly for acute injuries within 72 hours of an injury, cyrotherapy should only be used, but for chronic pains thermotherapy works very well.

Ice slows the swelling and inflation, especially in back pains. It slows down the metabolism at the injury which helps it heal quicker as well as numbs it which stops pain impulses. Yes it does contract the viens during the time the ice is on, but as soon as you take it off the viens release making the blood flow much quicker and giving it nutrients to heal. Heat will help muscles relax but wont do much more than that.

I used to get this all the time when I used to go to camp and play tramp ball for four weeks straight. All you have to do is rest for like a week and it should get better.

I think something similar has happened to me, but not quite the same extent. I was skiing one time and when i went in I tried to do my usual boot flick thing to pick up my ski, but instead it came up short so I bent down really quick to try and grab it. I got an intense pain in my back and after that it hurt to breathe and move. I got home and laid down for a while flat on my back and drank lots of water (in case in was cramps from dehydration). I iced it on and off 20 minutes for a few hours. I did some back stretches (sat in a chair and slowly bent down to touch my toes, laid on my back and tried to bring my knees to my chest, etc.). I had someone massage the sore spot, which helped an immense amount. Besides that I just took it really easy for a week and it went away. However, I'm not a doctor, so go talk to one. Feel better.

Oh and when they massaged it, they took their fingers and pressed them against the sore spot and put pressure on them with another hand and rubbed in a circular motion. /nohomo
