Answers:
If you have any hip or leg pain, this could be something like a herniated disc and you need to see a doctor. Even if you just have back pain, this could be the case as well. Take an anti-inflammatory like advil for the pain, and if it continues to hurt, go see a doctor. Doesn't sound like a case for the emergency room, but your family doctor could refer you to a spine doctor that could help you out. Health Question & Answer
get some Tigerbaum or some muscle rub, apply it and keep moving, sitting still will only make it worse, you can't do much for a sore muscle and if you broke anything you woul not be able to type so just take it easy and keep movingHealth Question & Answer
