My husband had a Laminectomy performed on his lower back about 10 years ago. Not due to immediate trama but, more like years of abuse.(rode motocross for years- had a job requiring regular lifting of 50-100#) Had pain afterward but, it was "tollerable". Day before yesterday,woke up with more pain. Yesterday pain became severe. Took muscle relaxer and went to bed. This morning pain worse. Took muscle relaxer & anti-imflamatory. Applying heating pad. Doesn't seem to be helping much. Does anyone have any home remedies that may help? Homeopathic remedies? Anything?
ANY SERIOUS SUGGESTIONS MOST APPRECIATED.

I had a frozen neck for 20 years. I went to an accupuncturist and he fixed me in one visit. I can see behind me now... A miracle.
Neuromuscular massage is great. Give it a try.
30 minutes of sunlight a day can help.
75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. They also are minerally deficient. The Water Cure, drinking 6-8 glasses of distilled water with a pinch of unrefined sea salt will cure 50% or more of people with chronic back pain. Body aches are a signal to your body to eat and drink but most Americans drink flouridated, chlorinated water or contaminated spring water and eat processed and toxic foods or demineralized foods. Drinking 6-8 glasses of distilled water with a pinch of sea slat could do the trick,
I would also take a tablespoon of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar in a glass of carrot juice, grape juice(unsweeteened) or apple juice with a dash of cinnamon three times a day.
MSM is a good sulfur supplemt that could ease the pain.
Wash it down with a shot glass of tart cherry juice three times a day.
Back pain is your body telling you to take care of it. Will you anser?

If your pain is from muscle spasms due to an injury, I found a product at Walgrens Drug Store which was wonderful. About $100. SQuSH Mat Massager, MMSQ-100 by HoMedics

Use some ice--it will help calm any new inflammation. Heat tends to bring more fluid to the area, but if there is inflammation there, you don't want any more fluid--the body can't clear the stuff that is there. I work for a spine care center as a PT. Getting up and going for a slow walk sometimes helps.

seek a massage therapist and a chiropractor is all I can say.
