Default OT sudden back pain

Something strange happened yesterday. I was riding a bicycle, along
with my son also riding his tricycle. He finally got tired and asked
me to carry his bike home, which I did by riding my own bike with his
tricycle in my right hand.

So far so good.

Then, as I arrived home, still sitting on my bicycle, I leaned to set
his tricycle on the ground. As I did that, I had sudden back pain and
it is not going away. I have hard times bending in a certain way and
walk with a funny gait.

What could this be and should I be worried?


Do you have pain radiating down your leg? If so, you have most likely
crunched
a disc, and a nerve is getting pinched. If no, then most likely you
have a muscle
that is cramping up. That should go away a lot quicker. I used to get
this in my
neck a couple times a year, and taking calcium supplements completely
got rid
of them.
