After a long day at work, my back hurts and I need to find ways to stop the pain, any ideas?

surprisingly, working out makes you more flexible and able to sustain painful days at work easier. also, think about getting a new matress, possibly one of those foam memory ones. if all else fails, a chiropractor can help.

I asked the same question, lol! My baby was born December 21st, 2008 so the experience is still rather fresh in my mind. I tried to go all natural without any pain meds and it was tolerable up until my water broke. After that, I was begging for the epidural. My labor lasted 19 hours, 16 of which I got through without anything to dull the pain. It just felt like period cramps progressively getting stronger as the time wore on. But then, after my water broke at 5cm, the pain intensified by about 80%. I remember that, while I was at the peek of one contraction, I was already dreading the next. I don't mean to scare you but it was by the most painful thing I've ever experienced. I was so concentrated on getting through my contractions that I hardly even noticed them putting in my epidural. And once I got that, it was a breeze. You can feel the pressure of the birth without all of the pain. Next time, I getting the epidural early on, before any of the pain comes. It wasn't nearly as bad as I had been anticipating. It actually made the experience rather pleasant. Hope this helps and good luck!

Doing some exercises to strengthen your core muscles will help to slow down the pain in your back, however I would also suggest soaking in a warm bath or shower and do some stretches while you're in there. It will relax your muscles so that you can feel better. You might also want to pick a couple of yoga moves to stretch your muscles before you to to work, so that they will be warmed up for your day.

Try to improve posture, strenghthen core muscles and do something relaxing. Get a really good chiropractor to check you out. See site below for more on a specific chiroractic technique in case it is something serious. An MD will give you a painkiller like Vioxx.

Many people think Chiropractors are quacks, but I found it helped with my neck pain tremendously. It's at least worth a try for someone who is in pain.

Best way is to ask your partner to massage your back. If you dont have a partner, get one now.

I agree with Chris C; working out and stretching help alot.
I do exercises at the YMCA to help arthritis in my back.
For meds; ALEVE also helps. :-)

try some stretching excerises nothing too hard, just enough to get your muscles relaxed. then you can also try warm baths, and when you sit to watch tv elevate your feet.
