If it is a back/neck injury specific protocol needs to be taken, and if it's her knees a simple palpation can usually determine if they are luxating or not.

Please keep her confined until she is able to be examined. Now I'm worried about her
Thanks for the heads up! But now I'm even more worried! I felt EVERY part of her and she doesn't react to me feeling around. The only times she's yelped was when picking her up (so I was thinking it was a leg or armpit area) but she doesn't yelp every time we pick her up. I can't tell what's making her yelp in pain! I did feel down her back and she didn't respond to that, if she hurt her back would she be responding in pain when I touch it???

At her last vet visit less than a month ago the vet said her knees were still fine. Could a knee issue come up that quickly?

Well she's very mellow right now (as she's been all day) so confining her and limiting her isn't an issue right now. I guess we will find a vet tomorrow!
