What is the best cure for severe lowere back spasms besides muscle relaxers and pain pills?

Question

This is the fourth time in 5 months that my husband has had a severe lowere back spasm that appears suddenly and lasts about 3-7 days. He is on pain pills, muscle relaxers and has tried different stretching exercises. He has an office job which may or may not cause it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Answer 1

have your husband take a hot bath with 2c. of dissolved Epsom salts. Soak for 30 minutes. The Epsom salts will help eliminate the lactic acid that forms on the muscles from over exertion and muscle spasms

Massage an analgesic cream into the sore muscles after the bath. I find the best cream for pain is “Blue Emu,” You can read more about this cream at http://www.blue-emu.com/

Dehydration can cause severe pain in the muscles. I recommend you drink purified water mixed with mineral water 50/50. This will replace the minerals that are exiting your body continuously.

I suggest that adults and children drink 40 ounces of water per 100 pounds of body weight every day. Realize that exercise, ambient temperature, and state of health affect the water needs of your body. 500mg of calcium and magnesium can help with the pain.

I recommend your husband see a chiropractor. I've never found any doctor to help this quickly with back pain as a chiropractor. I've enclosed a link where you can find one in your area.

I've also enclosed a link on exercises that can be done at the desk. This will help the back. Your husband probably needs to use a back support in his office chair and car. Chiropractors usually have these in stock.

I wanna say that it is spelt, neurotin. Not possitive tho. I've taken it b4 & it neverhelped. I like SOMA, Lortab, Vicodine, Dilaudid, Tramadol, Ultracet or Ultram, Fiorcet, XANAX, Buspar, Oxicontin, or Morphine Patches. All those seem to work very well on me 4 any type of pain. Especially for muscle problems!

Answer 4

you can get a portable muscle stimulator. i used to have to wear it all day when my back was bothering me. check out medical equipment place. some insurances will pay for this machine. it has pads that you stick on your back over the muscles that are bothering you, and then adjust it as high as you can comfortably stand it. battery operated, sends electric stimulation to the muscles which makes them contract but makes them relax and reduces inflammation. have you ever been to a chiropractor? if so , they use em. only their machines are bigger and pads are larger.
