Now I have pulled a muscle or two in my lower back before , which has resulted in a great deal of pain , often coupled with an inability to even move , but at least in those cases , when I curl up in the fetal position , and do n't move , the pain goes away . But around 2 AM last night , I awoke with such extreme pain in my upper back , there was nothing I could do to alleviate it . The pain was so extreme , I could n't even lift my head , and for quite awhile I actually felt nauseous . Eventually I was able to stretch it out , enabling me to move , albeit very gingerly , but the pain was still there .

Question: What will you do about the back pain
Answer: None of the above choices .I will see a doctorI will lift my head upI will overlook the pain which was mild
