I have had back pain for the past two days that only hurts when I run, but applying Moov helps relieve the pain; do I need to get an X-ray to find out what is wrong, and if so, should I get a standard or a digital X-ray?
Since the pain has only lasted two days and only occurs during running, it is likely a mild muscle strain. You do not need an X-ray at this stage. Most minor strains improve with a few days of rest, gentle stretching, and continued use of Moov. If imaging is ever needed in the future, a digital X-ray is generally preferred over standard for its clearer images and lower radiation. For now, try to rest from running. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult a doctor.
