Good luck with resting it Roger.
My experience, for all it's worth, until you get it imaged you don't know what kind of damage you've done. ( I know, DUH!)
I'm like many here, lived with it at times until once when I "tweaked" it lifting some heavy ass pipe at work. Imaging showed the bulged disc and stenosis from arthritis. I wasn't yet 60 either then. It hasn't gotten better, but the shots have helped bunches. A year's relieve the last time, and if it hadn't been for The Corona, I'd have gotten another this past spring.
Do yourself, and your workers, a favor and go get imaged if you're not better by like..................tonight or tomorrow morning. Whatever you do, don't let a chiro, PT, or massage person get at you until you do get imaging. If they have any smarts the wouldn't touch you with someone else's hands until you'd been looked at.
Hope it clears up soon, the damage can be permanent, especially if someone starts manipulating you without knowing what's going on inside.

"Good chance you bulged a disc, but hopefully didn’t rupture it. Non-knife happy Orthopedics will tell you, if you can walk, you don’t need cutting on."
Not true in every case. My son's wife suffered for years with back pain and could walk just fine but when her back pain became unbearable she went to her family doc. He who took an x-ray told her nothing was wrong with her back and referred her to a physical therapist. I knew from her symptoms she at least had a herniated disk (I've had 3 so far) and suggested she see the back specialist I had been going to. He told her DO NOT do any physical therapy until he looked at an MRI of her back. She had 3 ruptured discs and 2 broken vertebrae that required major surgery to repair (as much as possible).

What I said was true. Your DIL could "no longer" walk...it became "unbearable", and that is when surgery might be required...when it becomes unbearable (you can't walk any longer). I had a friend many years ago, while he was still young, have a simple back surgery. He died. They forgot to give him post-op meds to protect from infection, and that is why you "walk" as long as you can, because there are no "guarantees" in life. Sounds like your DIL broke vertebras, and when they grew back together, they weren't aligned, and it caused the disc to push against her nerve, creating continual pain, and eventually forced her hand to seek further attention. Glad she's better.

Had this procedure done a couple of years ago. Was scheduled for spinal surgery the following week. After the PRP treatment, I walked upright out of the office. Never had the surgery. It's true my back isn't what it once was, but this worked for me. Good luck.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient's own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. In this way, PRP injections use each individual patient's own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems.

Her pain became unbearale because she couldn't sleep.
