I had received a lower lumbar sprain a few years ago due to having hit my lower back against the sharp edge of an armrest on a chair and since then at least 3 to 8 times a month it spasms and I have to immediately stop whatever I am doing because I can t move and the pain takes my breathe away and the sharp pain in my lower back lasts for several minutes. Could it be caused by a pinched nerve in my back ? I no longer qualify for Medicaid and I don t know what to do. Sincerely Jerry Upp
