Question:

Okay, I haven't held a heavy back pack before. This backpack had to have been at least 3 pounds. Anyways this backpack does not have straps that cling on both shoulders. Its a cross strap. So I held my backpack on one side of my shoulder and put it down. I didn't notice back pain until I went to the pool 3 hours after. Its been about 6 days and my back still hurts only on that side I held my backpack on. But sometimes it moves to my lower back. Have I REALLY damaged my back? Will it stay like this forever? What are some ways to heal it?

Answers:
i don't know if we are experiencing the same back pain,

but i weight lift and i hurt my lower back and i couldn't sit without pain, what you can do is get a big ball thing[the exercise ball]

and ill try and find a website with instructions on lower back exercises.

it might take a week to notice results but don't stop exercising your back or it Will come back

here are two excercises

Lumbar extension - Place lower chest/stomach area over the exercise ball with legs straight, spread apart for stability and feet flexed up on toes (or with legs together and feet against a wall); rest hands on side of the ball, but do not use arms to push up; slowly lift head and chest off the ball as far as is comfortable, squeezing shoulder blades while lifting; return to start position. Repeat 5 times. For a harder exercise, place hands behind head or straighten arms above head

Bridge - Lay flat on the ground with legs straight. Place both legs together on the exercise ball at the calf area with arms at sides and hands flat on the floor; tighten and lift the buttocks up off the floor to straighten the back, keeping abdominal muscles tight and hold for 5 seconds. Return to start position. Repeat 3 to 5 times.

Well one thing stop using the bag and get a good back pack,i know its a pain but it might be better on your back,and im sure it will heal soon.
