What to do with backpain that won't go away?
Answer:
If it is still hurting go back to the doc and request an MRI you may have a herniated or ruptured disc.
You are probably going to need Physical Therapy. I hurt my lower back while moving into my house and then exacerbated it by mowing the lawn. I had a hard time getting out of bed the next morning. Went to the doc and he prescribed PT. It's a slow process but they can give you some great exercises that you can do at home. You will need them. I've found that since hurting my back, it doesn't take much to throw it out of whack again. Good luck and don't suffer with the pain needlessly. Go to PT!
A week is not a whole lot of time. It may take a month or so just to get rid of the deep bruising.
I've used Epsom salt baths and that seems to really help.
A good massage therapist might help.
gentle stretching every day will speed things up a bit
Good Luck
