what is the best medicine FOR THE BACK PAIN?

Answer 1

Pain is my friend. Ibuprofen for muscle pain, Vicoden for moderate acute pain, Percocet for severe acute pain, Oxycontin if you have to take so much that the APAP ( Tylenol ) in Vicoden or Percocet makes your ears ring. Combinations of the above are also available. You have to sign a contract to get Oxy. Morphine works too but it plugs you up.

Answer 2

Depends on the cause of the pain, if it's related to an UTI, hurting your back, arthritis, disk problems etc.

Most times, ibuprofen is a good choice because it's anti inflammatory. Ice is good with a fresh injury, after 24 hours moist heat. Massage is helpful too along with chiropractic. Make sure you rest the first 24-48 hours if it's injury related, then make sure you get up and try to get around and try to stretch it, don't lift anything heavy, make sure your sitting and laying postures are good, sometimes a pillow between your legs if you are a side sleeper helps, for a back sleeper, under the knees. That takes pressure off the back. There are alot of muscle rubs out there, mineral ice, icy hot, warm type pain patches that help too. There are stronger ones sold in chiropractors offices like sombra and biofreeze, both are good to help pain.

You should check this Sciatica Natural Treatment

Normally, I would not answer a question like this as my expertise is generally in medication but I had severe sciatica while I was pregnant with my 3rd child (after having had twins) and I had sciatica so bad that I was finding it difficult to walk. I tried massage therapy and physical therapy and could not take medication
I went to the chiropractor and the pain was instantly relieved. My hips and lower back were out of alignment because I had carried twins the year before. On occasion a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) can also work but they usually only work on one joint at a time - the chiropractor will do your whole back which works faster. Anyone who does not believe in chiropractors will tell you they are quacks - don't listen.
I don't necessarily believe that chiropractors can cure things like diabetes but they can definitely relieve some types of back pain especially if a pinched nerve is involved which is usually the cause of sciatica. Try a reputable chiropractor ASAP!

Answer 4

Panadiene forte is the only medicine that I found helps but its not available over the counter here (australia), you need a Doctors prescription.
If its lower back, lie down on the floor and put your legs up on a chair, supported under your knees, stay there for half an hour, this stretches the vertebrae apart and allows anything trapped to release. A phsyiotherapist showed me this years ago and it really works. If this hurts too much, dont do it as you may damage your back further.

Answer 5

There is no such thing as the BEST medicine for back pain. Remember that prevention is better than cure! If your pain is muscular in origin, a simple OTC pain reliever should do the trick, but in order to prevent back ache you could try the exercises that this FDA site recommends.

Answer 6

A variety of options, depending on the type of back pain. If you are just stiff and achy, a nice massage does wonders. Also, a hot shower pulsating onto your back will relax the muscles; Tylenol/Aleve, something like that. Stretch it out if you can. Maybe you have a kink that just needs to be worked out. Sleeping on a hard surface helps from time to time, as well. Have someone who doesn't weigh a lot, to walk barefoot up and down your back slowly. If you can't crack your back, the walker might be able to.

OR....you can consult a chiropractor.

Answer 7

1. Naproxyn sodium (Aleeve)
2. Moist heat. (Hot wet towel)
3. Chiropractic emergency visit for assessment and adjustment if necessary. (recommended)
4. Rest flat on back with three pillows under lower legs so that your legs look like you would be sitting if you were vertical.
5. Squashable slight pillow under neck.
6. Cool touch. Someone with cool hands slides his or her hands softly over your back from lower upwards to dissipate electrical debris in your skin and disrupt pain signals.
7. Stretching. VERY slowly. Every part of your body. VERY slowly but to your point of resistance. Three repetitions each area and each direction. Shallow knee bends with your butt sticking out. Slowly.
8. Move. Do not stay in one place or sit more than 20 minutes.
9. Rest

Answer 8

Take a couple of napronex or naproxen and then apply ice pack for 10 minutes and then apply moist warm heat for 20 minutes. Then try gently stretching the muscle out slowly. This is good for muscle spasms in the back.

Answer 9

Vicodin

Answer 10
