I did about six weeks ago moving heavy furniture. It’s fucking annoying - the pain hasn’t gone away, and both doctors I’ve seen insist it’s just a muscle strain. I seemed to have been making progress until last week when I was lugging my winter wheels up to my apartment, which only reaggravated the injury. I’ve since been advised that I shouldn’t be lifting anything heavier than 5-10 pounds.
Anyway, I’m now using a mix of heating pads and Icy/Hot, which has helped a bit. But I’m just shocked that a muscle strain can last this long. Maybe it’s time for some physical therapy.
Anyone here have a similar experience?
