while getting ready for a mountain biking trip, i was able to injure my back loading my bike into the back of my car. i was positioning the bike in the back when something in my back gave out and i dropped to the ground. i didn't think too much off it since the pain wasn't bad and i just popped a tylenol for the pain. 1/4 mile into the mountains and i couldn't go any further and had to circle back and wait.
after getting home i just layed in bed and that is when things went bad. i could not stand up straight and my back is severely curved. if i move my hips up or down the curvature in my back will change sides and pinch my nerves which hurts like nothin i've ever felt before. i went to the dr. yesterday and got some pain killers and anti inflammatories. i'm not sure what is going to be the result of this, but for now i can barely walk w/o severe pain in my lower back.
the report from the radiologist is:
there is no fracture. the disc spaces are maintained. the spinal alignments and posterior elements are intact. the paraspinal soft tissue is unremarkable. the is straightening of the lumber lordosis. levoscoliosis is noted.
i've never had any time of scoliosis before and the first time this happened was last night when i was trying to walk. what do you guys think? any luck for me? i really hope i don't need back surgery..
wish me luck
