pulled muscle in my back?

so this morning i started coughing (i still have a little WC) and im pretty certain i pulled a muscle in my back :(
on my right side, over the lower ribs on my back.. seriously hurts.
The muscle.
It hurts to walk, to bend, to cough or sneeze.
It hurts to touch too..
anyone have any advise?
im off to work since i cant get out of it, and plus i think ill manage.. but this sucks big time LOL.

Maybe see a chiropractor? Sounds painful!! I hope you dont do more damage by working!!

Hi Stevie,

I would say a wheat bag, make sure its not too hot though. I have been having massive back pain in the upper back and I get dh to sit on the couch with legs spread so I can put my belly in the hole and he rubs until it feels a bit better...Its just hard getting back up again and I bet his legs go numb but he wouldnt say if they did...;)

Hope it gets a bit better for you
