Question: Back pain that gets *worse* when spine is caused to rest in its most natural position?
However, right now, she's relaxing in a banana chair with a pillow under her tailbone - and that's what's got me in a complete bewilderment. Can anyone cast some light on the sort of injury that favors a rounded banana chair, and becomes unbearable when actually supporting the spine?
What can we do to help ease the pain, besides pain killers?
Answers:
It could be a pinched nerve or a dislocated disk.
Give her a couple of days, letting her lay whichever way is most comfortable. The problem might correct itself. If not you could take her to the ER and get a muscle relaxer (this will help the pain) and then make an appointment with a chiropractor. If it is a disk out of place, he'll be able to pop it back in safely.
She needs to be aware that if it is a slipped disk, she'll need to be careful from now on - once a disk goes out, it becomes easier to go out again.
Has she been checked for scoliosis? It may be that!
