Got myself a cheap trailer other day, so today ive been refurbing it.  

Tipped it over a few times, and lots or draging it about etc... Finished outside, so went in for tea. About 45 mins later, I went to pick laptop up.... ARRRRRRRGGGGG!!!!. Never felt pain like it before  

Trailer is at my grans, so i had a 15 min drive home, and it was constant stinging all the way.

Does it sound like ive just pulled something? or could it be more long term damage? Bit worried from people saying 'Once backs gone, its gone!' Which at 20, so its not lasted very long! :-/

Ian, I know this forum is good but I think you probably need a doctor. Unless your crankshaft sensor is playing you up.

Think its my anti-roll bar bushes tbh, as my heart (engine) runs fine.

I always lie on the floor with legs straight down, bend one knee twisting so the knee tries to touch the floor, but trying to keep your torso flat on the floor. My back used to crack. then i do the other leg.

Give that a try

You need one of these. It won't cure a f***ed back, but it does help.

[Vamps]

don't know how to look at that

Got it, you can buy them a lot cheaper on ebay

I was merely pointing in the right direction ..... I didn't say you had to buy it from Boots.

for my back pain i take
zomorph 70 mgx 2

Quick update...

Still hurts, but not as bad.

So im hoping ive not done too much damage!

Ian get your but to see a doctor.... posponing it will only make it worse cos if you have done some serious damage it might need playing with to put things back where they should go.

i have pulled my back many time with my job and once it heals and you have re strengthened the muscles your be right. you will remember to lift properly too.

I never lift properly, I always strain my back  

Plenty of strenth, I just lift with my back instead of my legs

Surely you know how to drive from the passenger seat!
On a serious note, don't do anything drastic without consulting your doctor. They'll obviously advise rest and pain killers, in their usual imaginative way, but you must make sure that you haven't done anything serious.
I'm not medically qualified, but think that at your age, it's probably just strained muscles which have gone into spasm to protect your spine from movement. 'Slipped discs' are actually 'ruptured' pads between the vertebrae, and I understand are not all that common an occurrence in a young person unless there has been really serious trauma.
I know how devastating back pain can be and sympathise, but care and rest will probably sort it out.
Good luck.
