Had an accident lastnight, was messing around and fell wrong. My lower back popped and I had severe pain. I could walk fine just alot of pain. I went to the er and they didnot do an x-ray they just said it was Acute Lumbar Strain..well
when I cough my back hurts, i see sparks and my hands go tingly from the pain. I doNOT have a dr. and best I could do is GO back to the er if it gets worse. I also donot have meds so I woke up and have severe pain!
the pain is not constant, just when I move. I iced my back, and walk around.
it is in the Lumbar area however:

should I return to a diffrent er to rule out injury or am I just being too worried?
it concerns me when I cough and I see sparks and tingling hands. =/
not sure what is wrong but I trust they know what they are doing...IF it were a break or a worse injury I wouldn't be walking. they didn't seem to care and they seemed to think it was nothing to be worried about such as the severe pain. the dr refused an x-ray..I went in there did a pee test, they talked to me then gave me ibprofane (it helped) and sent me home.
is the pain causing me to get sparks and tingling hands?
I do have panic attacks but this came on after I coughed
