I wouldn't hesitate going to go the doc... back injuries shouldn't be taken too lightly. Plus, what if it gets really bad in the middle of the weekend?...you'll be forced to go to the emergency room. I like going to the chiropractor, but that's personal preference.

Ouchie! I've been there, infact just recently healed from a heirniated disc in my neck/shoulder area which was pinching off the nerve that goes down my right arm. Please get to a chiropractor TODAY! Try not to use your arm for anything & rest.
Keep the ice packs going, 20 minutes out of every hour until you can get to the doc.
Best of luck. It's a long process of healing.

Hey there RW...yes, I am back in full force FINALLY!!! It's been a rough haul, but I got the green light to head back to the gym a couple weeks ago.
I've lost alot of strength, but have noticed my muscles have quickly gone back to motor memory..thank goodness since it was becoming pretty depressing.
:) Thanks for remembering!! :)
