Lower Back -
The following account is based solely on experience, and is not meant to replace any advice from your personal physician.
Each person's situation is different, and it is necessary to consult a professional for a proper diagnosis. In sharing this, it is my hope that it will help encourage someone else that may be having a similar experience.
How Long Will It Take To Heal My Back?
The truth is that it will probably take as long as it needs. I believe that the body is designed with its own Intelligence, and that it can heal when given the proper circumstances.
In short, it has taken me about a year and a half to get to the point where I am now, which is much improved but not quite out of the woods, yet.
(For the longer version, keep reading for more of the details...)
I was encouraged by someone else with a similar lower back injury who had taken around the same amount of time to heal.
My hope is that this account will also help to encourage someone else to keep pressing on and have patience that things truly will get better.
The ligaments and tendons of the back don't get the same blood circulation as most other parts of the body, and this is why healing back injuries can often take long.
But, do give it the time it needs and don't try to rush things by masking the pain with medication, or by doing physical tasks that your back just isn't ready for yet.
For most of the time I had my back injury, I didn't take any medication other than some herbal remedies from reputable companies for the inflammation, which worked very well at the time.
The reason for this is that I wanted to be able to monitor all of my movement and make sure about what did and didn't feel good so that I wouldn't cause further injury by doing something I wasn't ready for.
However, if I had been in very bad pain, I would not have hesitated to take something stronger.
(I just usually try to avoid Over The Counter medicine, and even prescriptions, because I don't feel very well when I take them.)
