scroll down to 13th Paragraph:

"Mom, what are you ..." BAM! I slipped on a banana peel. "Ooh, my back ..."

"Don't move," she yelled. "I'll get the meat tenderizer!"

But first she pulled off my shoe, grabbed a sock and disappeared into the kitchen. I tried to run for my life, but Mom was quick. She returned with a paste made from meat tenderizer and water, and rubbed it on the small of my back. She then placed my sock -- which she'd filled with dried kidney beans and microwaved for thirty seconds -- over the paste.

Before I had a chance to call 911, a curious thing happened -- my back began to feel better! The enzymes in the meat tenderizer were soothing my aching muscles. And the beanbag sock worked like a heating pad.


Other than that, maybe you can
a. go to a doctor
b. find out more specifically what your problem, and go to Yahoo Health for answers and such
c. get a massage
d. maybe lie down and put your legs up onto a higher level, like a chair, maybe
I say this b/c I once saw a show whatever and there was this lady whose um hernia disk or something has been dislocated, snapped, just awry or something, and the tips from the show (it was something like Whaddyado?-gives tips on situations you might encounter that are kind of dangerous to your being, and you don't know or are unsure of what to do) were like the one i mentioned above
but if you're problem is the not same as the one I just mentioned, which it probably isn't or else you would be calling 911 already for the intense pain that you would expeirence
anyway, and another thing that they said could help was like take ice from freezer, put into bag (ziploc or something) and put on bag for 10 minutes??? then alternate with hot patch???
I'm really not sure, so maybe you can do more research into those patches things

My primary suggestion is in the article I gave, or the abc's that I've listed (not too much on 'd' and afterwards)
Hoped that this has helped and I hope that your back gets better! Bye

Answer 3

You need to try a mixture of things. You should work out a few times a week, and see if that helps. Stretching is very important! Also, take pain medicine and do a heating pad.
To take the strain off your back when you go to bed you should do the following:
if you lay on your side: put a pillow between your legs
if you lay on your front : roll to your side, laying on your front puts a great deal of pressure on your back.

I would make an appointment with your doctor also. I had upper back pain, and it resulted in me over working my shoulder at sports and i had to go to physical therapy, and now because i waited so long, i am always tense up there.

Answer 4

I had lower back pain for a long time before I started working out. Almost as soon as I started working out on a regular basis, the pain was gone. I've been working out for over a year now, and in that time, I've only had a few days where my back bothered me, which was mostly from my posture or my daily routine, but the workouts have helped tremendously.

Answer 5

I hurt my lower back when I was pregnant and couldn't take decent pain meds, and my doctor told me to use a heating pad or stand under a hot shower for 15 minutes and then put an ice pack on for 15 more minutes. She said always go hot to cold so you don't hurt yourself. It helped me a lot. Lower back stretches are helpful too, just lie on your back and pull your knees up to your chest and rest like that.

For a more long term solution, you might want to start working your abdominals as lower back pain can be caused by weak stomach muscles.

Answer 6

Try alternating ice with heat... ice for 20 minutes, heat for 20, relax for 20. If one or the other irritates your back, then just do the one that's comfortable for you. Also, if it's nerve type pain, try lying flat on the floor, legs stretched out. Bring one leg up to your chest, pull it in with your arms until you feel a slight pulling sensation to the back of your thigh... pull your leg into your chest until the pulling sensation is just to the point of uncomfortable. Hold for a slow count of 10. Repeat with opposite leg. Do at least 5 with each side, more if you can tolerate it. Cat stretches may also afford you some relief. I would advise you to avoid taking any medications, OTC or otherwise, at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. You want to go in uncomfortable so that your physician has a better chance of finding the culprit.

Answer 7

If it is serious I would see a doctor. Until then you can take pain pills such as Aspirin or there are back-specific pills. You can also buy a heat pad and ice packs or a patch like Icy Hot. There are also muscle/pain relief cremes at any drug store. Good luck!

Answer 8

Could be kidney stones.

There is a very simple way to find out and that is to drink 2, 3 or even 4 glasses of water and if the pain goes within an hour or quicker then most likely it is kidney stones.

Kidney stones simply love water and if you give them what they want in large amounts then they stop harassing you (temporarily).

Answer 9

Get medical specialist's attention without delay. Could be muscle or disc problem. Avoid carrying heavy stuff or too much bending for some time while the condition persists.Good luck!

Answer 10

I have had the same problems for years and the best thing to do is to soak in a hot bath or put some ice on it. that always worked for me. if it gets really bad then I would suggest seeing your doctor and maybe they will have something better for you.

Answer 11

You need to see a doctor because you may have to have an MRI done.I had one done and found out I had disc problems..back problems are not something to mess around with.
