I remember when my son was about 8 mos old. I reached down to pick him up out of the playpen, and my back went out!

I have an old strain/injury at T12... putting my arms out and bending over is still problematic for me.

I had to call my husband to come home... I was totally incapacitated. It lasted a week! After 3 days he could go back to work, but I didn't put the baby down after that so low. Only on the couch etc or higher!

I still get twinges doing weeding and some housework...so I really suspect you may have some similar thing somewhere down your spine. It is alot of stress picking up little ones...over and over. Its good you are getting that MRI!
