What can I do at home to relieve back pain that has been reoccuring in my lower back (tailbone area). I don't know whether to ice it, heat it, stab it (lol) it hurts so bad just to wash dishes. I had a masseuse work on it last week and it went away! YAY! For like three days! It's back and with a vengeance. I don't understand. I fell like I'm to young to be suffering from back pain. I'm already taking anti-inflammatories and pain killer's the doc gave me. Don't know what else to. My house is a mess cause I'm afraid to do anything.

Could be a slipped disc or pinched nerve. Massage may make an exsting condition worse by aggravating nerve endings or fuirther displacing something allready out of whack. I would ask my Dr. to order an MRI first if current pills are of no value after about a week. pain pills will only MASK the cause, not cure it.

Go to a store and by bengay. Rub it on when the pain is bad.
