Have you seen a doctor about this? Cos I get that there will be up and down days but it should still be on the decline after 3 weeks.

Today is 3 weeks since my back muscle injury started and honestly Iâm not sure I have seen any improvement. Itâs less raw sore but the soreness level has gone down, up, down, up, and today is an up day. Itâs really starting to affect me mentally. I donât want to get out of bed most days because laying flat on my back is about the only position where the muscle feels completely âoffâ. Iâve never had a muscle injury like this that just keeps going and going. Just want this horror to end.

so many hugs,
back injuries are debilitating and depressing , literally the nerve pain signals create depression in your brain
do not do anything that causes pain, that only aggravates the injury and makes healing take longer
I suggest lots of rest
anti-inflammatories
hot water bottles in bed
hot baths to relax muscles and tendons and ligaments
read The Back Mechanic to understand your injury and what you can do
see a doctor

Iâm going to assume that youâve seen a doctor or physio about this. Backs are hard to fix cos just about EVERYTHING you do uses core muscles that attach to your back at some point. Rest can only do so much - maybe a sport physio could help you a bit more than a regular one?
