Bad back, bad timing, bad choices, topped off with extreme pain

So last Tuesday (Feb 3rd) I managed to slip, fall and in the process mess up my lower back pretty bad. So bad that I got to go to the hospital in an ambulance on one of those damn completely uncomfortable back boards. Side note—- how is a hard rigid board that makes your back feel worse, suppose to make things ‘better’ and don’t get me started on that C-collar that is not designed for people like me with no neck! Back on topic, I spent 10hrs in the ER after getting a cat scan and a bunch of x rays (which was not fun since I had to keep rolling over for different angles). All scans came back clear and was told that due to my prior back issues that I have had for years, this fall has overly stressed the muscles and spine and that it will ‘just fix it self’ after some time of rest.
