my hubby sprained his back
my hubby sprained his lower back yesterday at work,felt a sharp pain and called me after seeing his company doc at his workplace...the doc just saw him for 5 mins and sent him off with painkillers and muscle cream...she didnt realise how painful he was...:(
my hubby called me and told me he's in pain...he has a high threshold of pain ..knowing him for more than 10 yrs...even a mountain rock hit his head...he wont feel the pain...except he is quite afriad of needles...which i think most of us are too....
asking him to come home straight, he refused and said he can tahan...
sensing it to be real bad,i prayed real hard at home and sms a few of our bros and sisters to pray for him...
thank GOD, his colleague recommended a chinese physician from Maguang马光, with twisted waist...he endured till off work...
the chinese physician said his old injury got inflamed ,affecting his nerve at the lower back,
gave him acupucture(needles!!)
heng, he can walk much better after the poking...
and now recuperating at home....
thank GOD, i was at home, worried sick...seeing him looking like "hunchback of notre dame"
i have to assure him he will be ok and i still love him
with lots of tender loving care, he is much better
thank GOD for His healing and many prayers from our christian bros and sisters
he can sit up and sleep
but he still feel painful walking or standing
do pray for his full recovery
here's some info abt lower back strain:
Lumbar (lower back) muscle strains and sprains are the most common causes of low back pain. The back is prone to this strain because of its weight-bearing function and involvement in moving, twisting and bending. Lumbar muscle strain is caused when muscle fibers are abnormally stretched or torn.
Symptoms
Low back pain that may radiate into the buttocks, but does not affect the legs
Stiffness in the low back area, restricting range of motion
Inability to maintain normal posture due to stiffness and/or pain
Muscle spasms either with activity, or at rest
Pain that persists for a maximum of 10-14 days

Prevention Tips
1)Do crunches and other abdominal-muscle strengthening exercises to provide more spine stability. Swimming, stationary bicycling and brisk walking are good aerobic exercises that generally do not put extra stress on your back.
2)Use correct lifting and moving techniques, such as squatting to lift a heavy object. Don't bend and lift. Get help if an object is too heavy or awkward.
3)Maintain correct posture when you're sitting and standing.
4)Avoid stressful situations if possible, as this can cause muscle tension.
5)Maintain a healthy weight. Extra weight, especially around the midsection, can put strain on your lower back.
