Last week I lifted a box wrong when wearing high-heels. My lower back has been hurting ever since. As I am sitting at work the pain in radiating up my spine and into my legs. I am not sure what type of doctor I should see... but I think I need to see one today.

I just saw this post--you could have pulled a muscle or even slipped a disc..You need to see a Orthopedic doctor..Your PCP may be the one who will need to refer you-depending on your insurance..Hope all works out okfor you..kd
