Ouch, it hurts. Your back. Suddenly. But how can you determine the

CAUSE of the ouch? Is it a pinched nerve or a pulled muscle? Sciatica or piriformis syndrome? Herniated

disc or stress? And How do I make it go away?

This guide will reveal 2 simple ways determine if your back pain is caused by a pinched nerve or a pulled muscle. And of course – What to do about each.

 Clue #1 – Dull or Sharp-Shooting Pain

Pulled muscle is usually describes as dull aching pain. Injured muscles can cause a surprising amount of pain and can become inflamed and spasmed, causing back pain and significant stiffness.

Pinched nerve feels like sharp-shooting pain and may be accompanied with numbness and tingling.

 Clue #2 – Localized or Radiating

• Pulled muscle is usually localized in one area. The area should feel tender when touched and when you try to use the muscle, you feel immediate pain.

• Pinched nerve pain usually radiates down the length of the leg, so you feel back pain along with pain in one or both your legs.

 How to Heal a Pulled Muscle

• A muscle strain, also called a pulled muscle, occurs when a muscle is stretched too far, and small tears occur within the muscle

• A pulled muscle can take up to 6 weeks to heal completely. Even though it’s the most common cause of back pain, there is not much you can do about it except for icing, gentle stretching and massaging and taking pain relievers (no more than a few days!).
