I slept in the wrong position for the last couple of nights and my lower back is hurting. What is a good over the counter medicine for this?
I took some extra strength tylenol but I've seen things advertised especially for back pain and I can't remember what it was. Thanks!

I cured my sciatica with this natural treatment ( http://cure-sciatica.info )
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.

I would try an ibuprofen like Advil or Motrin. They are anti-inflammatory and are more effective than Tylenol for body aches not associated with illness. You can also try laying on a heating pad or taking a warm bath.
Good luck!

Aleve or naproxen sodium seems to work the best for me when I am suffering from lower back pain. Doan's is a back pain relief.

Motrin and a heat pad.

Aleve works great and you only have to take one.
