what is good for back pain?

Answer 1

Sex.

Answer 2

Soak in a real warm bath with epsom salt and then rub aspercream on it. I would go to a Chiropractor if I could afford it, they always make me better. A bag of ice on it and then after 20 min use heat. do this off and on during the day and try to just stretch the legs st night in bed while lying down. It's proabably a muscle spasm and it is terrible pain. The ice really helps shrink the muscle and lessend the pressure on the nerve. You can apply pressure with your own hand to your back and down the buttocks along the siatic nerve, push gently as much ad you can take, all the way down to back of knee on what ever side is hurting ot both if they both hurt. then rub the area really light and fast to get the blood floeing to the area. Take ibuprofin if you aren't allergic , take three for prescription strength if it's over the counter. If not better after a few days get to Dr. or Chiro. good luck.

Answer 3

You have gotten lots of good answers but you need to be careful when taking some of the over the counter drugs recommended to you. Don't exceed more then 4,000 mg of Tylenol per 24 hour period (can cause liver damage), if using napoxine sodium or ibuprofen take w/ food (excessive use can cause ulcers), asprin can cause blood thinning.
heat pads and ice packs (you can make home mades versions of both) -heat pad use a damp wash cloth insert in microwave for about 1-2 mins (time varies on wattage) insert in zip lock style back and apply to area w/ pain. -home made ice pack can be a frozen bag of veggies as well as ice in a zip lock style back (cover w/ a kitchen towel or wash cloth to avoid damage to skin)
I recently read in a woman's magazine a good remedy for back pain is walking. I personally have had massages, physical therapy and seen a chiropractor for my back pain. I find good results w/ ultra sound and the muscle stimulation. but as of yet can't give you a 100% perfect answer. because i continue to suffer from back pain. you are probably just going to have to figure out what works best for you and your body and where your pain is located. Good luck!!

Answer 4

It depends on what is causing the pain. There are a lot of exercises that will help your back. Some women suffer from back pain because they have very large breasts (that is not a joke). Some men suffer because they have very large stomachs. Some lower back pain is caused by your kidneys. There are a lot of reasons for back pain, like a poor bed, poor posture, injury, arthritis...
Try to find the cause and eliminate it, if possible. If you don't know the cause, see a doctor.

Answer 5

Ask your mom or someone if kidney stones run in the family, for they can cause serious problems like kidney stones and UTIs. My boyfriend is anemic and he has 9 kidney stones (5 in the left, 4 in the right), and you can't even poke where his kidneys are. If you squeezed his kidneys, he'd probably pass out from the pain and piss blood for a week. I've had to put up with his kidney problems for a while, and the fact that you said that you squeeze where the pain is to make it feel better sounds unusual to me in terms of kidneys. Placed on top of your kidneys are your adrenal glands that secrete adrenalin/epinephrine. The thing is, your kidneys are located in your retroperitoneal space which is the core of your abdomen that contains a lot of different organs/glands, so it could be anything. If I were you, I'd visit a urologist to check your kidneys, get a blood test to check if you're anemic (which could cause kidney stones), and see an endocrinologist to examine your adrenal glands. I hope this helped.

Answer 6

A heating pad applied to an achy back (for no longer than 20 minute intervals) is usually what works best. You can also alternate between Asprin and Tylenol every 4 hours.

Answer 7

Ice. You can get a gel pack that freezes but is still a little flexible, You may need to wrap it in a towel or something, because the plastic should not come in direct contact with your skin. They say you should not keep it on longer than 20 minutes, but I usually go way over that.

Answer 8

This depends on what type, and the location of the back pain... antinflamitors, heat and ice packs... different stretches. I would have to know the location of the back pain.. to give more details as to what type of stretches... sry spelling S U C K S.... Ice packs are the best bet for now. BEST OF LUCK!!!!

Answer 9

stretch your hamstrings if you are talking about lower back pain. Just sit on the floor agaist the sofa or somthing, legs straight and flat on the floor. gently lean forward gently do not bounce and don't try to fast after a couple aof minutes try leaning a little more. hope this helps it works for me. check with your doctor !!

Answer 10

first step right after the injury is cold packs, second step is soak in a very warm bath with bath salts or Epsom salt. If it persist for more than a few days or is too severe call your doctor
