Sudden Back Pain?

Question:

The other day while I was driving, I leaned to my right to pick something up off the floor and I suddenly got this sharp (tight pulling feeling) pain in my middle back. I couldn't move my back for a second and it went away. Then, today my boyfriend and I were play wrestling and he twisted my upper body in this awkward position and it started again and hasn't let up since. whenever I bend over it hurts pretty bad. What could this be? It seems to be just on the right side of my spine. I can't sleep right now, and it's 4:00 AM.

- Also, I've never experienced back pain before. Thank you...

see a Doctor

see a chropractic

sounds like a muscle injury to me. If it does not go away in a couple of days i think you should go to your doctor.

Without a hands on exam and going off what you have said, i could assume that you may have injured one of your discs in your back. i personally suggest you see a doctor and ask for a referral to see a physical therapist. I feel that physical therapists are the better option when it comes to spine dysfunction and injury (sorry chiropractors). i've studied both chiropractic and physical therapy and have found the techniques for both useful, if used properly in the correct situation. however, in this particular situation physical therapy is the better course. please try to avoid any bending forward or rotation until you get seen, these movements could make your injury worse. try some gentle backward bending and see if that helps, but overall get to a physical therapist soon! good luck!
