[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 431459, member: 4264"] I've had my back go out many times over the years. The first time I was at peak health, this was pre MS and pre-aging. I literally went to sit on the toilet to pee, and ended up at the ER and couldn't walk, couldn't even get in and out of bed without agony and help for over a week. Muscles can do crazy things even when not an "obvious" activity being the precursor. Nerve issues as mentioned can be similarly hard to figure out the rhyme or reason to them acting up. When it was really bad I'd end up on muscle relaxants and anti inflammatories along with something like Advil or Tylenol for the pain (not that it did a lot but on some level the pain reliever must have helped I"m sure). Even when it isn't so bad that I seek the mus. relaxants or anti-inflam. medications, there are things to help ease discomfort. For me a heating pad, sometimes alternating with ice depending on the root problem. Rubs such as A535 or icy hot can really help the muscles relax. Hope you feel better soon. Back pain hoovers!
