Answer 1

Seriously, take back pain seriously.

First, you need to see a chiropractor, or other health professional to be sure your back is properly aligned. These people are not quacks, as they have restored my alignment a few times, especially following my car accident.

If your bones are ok, your nerves are next. One could be hung up between your vertebrae.

If it's not your nerves, muscles or tendons could be overworked, or too weak for the work you do.

If a tennis player has tennis elbow, for example, he has to
1) rest it
2) massage it
3) treat it - heat /cold, ointment, muscle relaxer, sauna/whirlpool,etc.....and once the pain subsides,
4) exercise to strengthen it - including sensible weight training
5) stretch, stretch, stretch

These 5 points are routine maintenence for a lifetime.

By the way, contributing to the problem could also be your matress, or the way you sleep, or unsafe lifting practices.

One more thing comes to mind: you can expect back problems to surface as your stomach muscles weaken.

It would probably be in your best interest to see a chiropractor. Chiropractic is founded in the belief that the Central Nervous System (brain, spinal cord, and nerves) controls EVERY bodily function. When the vertebrae are misaligned (what chiropractic calls a subluxation), they can pinch/damage/affect the nerves running out between them, causing pain, numbness/tingling, or any type of general malfunction in that nerve's corresponding body part. Chiropractic works to remove that neural interference and let the body heal itself naturally.

A good way to check yourself out is to stand in front of a full length mirror. Close your eyes and walk in place for a few seconds; roll your head around and loosen up. Then stand in what you feel is a normal, upright, and straight position. Open your eyes. How is your posture? Is one shoulder or ear higher than the other? Does one arm seem longer than the other? These are indicators that your spine isn't as straight as it should be. Since you are standing all day, imagine the pressure that gravity is putting on one side of your body if you are constantly leaning to that side.

If you decide to try chiropractic, take the time to find a good chiropractor that you are comfortable with; ask around or visit a few offices and pick the doctor you feel is best for you. No matter what you decide to do, I hope you get better. Good luck!

Yes there is a solution, even a natural one.

Have you got the possibility to travel to California or Europe?

Out of own experience, I would strongly recommend the one-time treatment Atlasprofilax. It has been experienced by more than 80,000 persons in Europe already - and is now starting to become more common in the US. Good luck!

Answer 5

You can buy back support belts from pharmacies. Buy one and cover your back, keep it warm at all times. The pain will go away after 2 to 3 days. Rest well at home ensuring you sit on a comfortable seat.

I might cross to the er my brother had that equal obstacle he used to be sixteen on the time so he used to be in tears like three to four days after the ache had began anyhow we took him to kid's and while all of it boiled down it used to be appendicitis. So if I had been u I might get it looked at rapid I'm a institution scholar finding out to be a RN we I have found out that in case your appendix ruptures and you do not get it tookin care of then you'll be able to die. Not seeking to scare you simply telling you the details
