Hurt my back last weekend (by being stupid and picking something up the wrong way) and the pain's not been getting any better. It's staying the same. I got all paranoid that maybe it was a slipped disc or something more serious. I saw an Orthopeodic Dr today and after 3 x-ray's he's determined that it's not anything serious. I've probably just strained something.
His treatment recomendation was a round of steroids (prednisone) over the next 10 days (high dose first few days, gradually getting lower) and hydrocodone for the pain.
Obviously I'm self-grounding until after the rounds of meds are over (and I've recovered) - but what, if anything, should I be concerned about when my next medical comes due (next year) or anything I should do in the mean time?
