Back Pain I had just this week looked this up for a co-worker. Straight from health.msn. Com- It says to apply ice or a cold pack to the injured area for the first 48-72 hours.

Ice the injury for 15-20 minutes and then 20 minutes off. After that initial time period apply heat to the area if the swelling is gone. Hot showers, hot packs, hot tubs and increase swelling in the first 48 hours and it's best to avoid them.

Ibuprofen, motrin or advil can be taken for swelling and pain. On that website is lists when you can and should start exercising again. It has a lot of good information on there.

Hope your back is better soon! Have a great day. Keep smiling.

Don't put a heat pack on Heat encourages swelling. An ice pack is a better bet. Lie face down and have someone rub the sore area gently.

If the muscle feels hard to them compared with their own, it may be pulled. Rest and ice can do a lot, but don’t neglect to have it seen by a doctor when you can to check there’s no skeletal or spinal damage.

If it is muscle strain/sprain Rule of thumb is; ice the first 48 hours to reduce inflammation and then after the 48 hours, alternate heat and ice. Ice on for only 20 minutes, heat can be up to one hour. Set in a straight back chair.No couch, no recliner, or such.

Something like a wingback chair, is an example of a straight back chair. It helps support the back, where as the other kinds do not give the support and also allow the back to "slump" which is not good. If you can take any of the analgesic pain meds (asprin, advil, motrin, etc) that will not only help with pain, but also will reduce the inflammation.

Try going to Walgreens or Wal-mart and get one of those back support things in the section for like knee brace, knee support, wrist support, elastic bandages. They will also have those things for putting on to support your lower back while lifting, but will also help support it if you did lift something without the support and hurt the back. If it has not gotten any better when the doctor's offices open back up on Tuesday, go to the doctor to see if worse damage has been done (other than strain/sprain).

Plus, if the pain is not being helped by over the counter meds (I mentioned above) the doc may give you a couple day supply of prescription pain med. Good luck. I know how awful back pain is.

I hurt mine many years ago and have problems from it, will have for all my life. Not only soft tissue, but now also have bulging discs in all lumbar vert. And a pinched nerve root in the L1-L2.

So I have a lot of experience with back pain. (In varying degrees) Sources: Over 35 years of my own personal experience .

Get to a chiropractor. If he does NOT demand to take an X-ray before beginning treatment, leave and go to a DIFFERENT chiropractor. The good ones will NEVER TOUCH a patient without seeing a picture of the damaged area.

I put up with lower back pain for almost 30 years before I finally tried Chiropractic, and am now completely pain free, although I still have monthly 'tune ups'. If you get this straightened out EARLY, you will be much better off. Sources: personal experience .

Not a specialist/prefessional - but from experience... Two general steps and one specific - general 1 while there is probably inflammation, rest the area, if necessary lie down, sit as it is comfortable for you (currently, I have to sit on the edge of an upright chair so at least one leg is hanging down, otherwise the lower back seizes up). Do not do movements and actions that could make things hurt; Take anti-inflammatory pain-killing drugs - aspirin or ibuprofen - and I find IBP is more effective for similar dosage (400mg is good). I fyou are in a lot of pain, check the dosage instructions , you may be allowed more at a time/in a day.

Warm the area with baths, showers or even hot-water bottle. Chill the area to reduce the inflammation. I know this is contradictory, but you may find on action works better than another.

Now, though you rest the area at first to help reduce the inflammation, you must not stay inactive for too long or you musculature will start to wither. So 2 the general advice for body problems now is MEAT movement, exercise, analgesics, treatments You move to prevent the area becoming tensed up and unable to move, but very carefully, listening to your body and what it is happy with This is different to exercise - you want gentle regular, appropriate exercise to strengthen your back and the muscles around your middle; Stronger muscles help protect your back. Analgesics - mentioned before, there is no point in being in pain, that just tires you out and makes recovery harder.

Treatments - and this is the specific step as well - Go see a kineotherapist. They can diagnose the exact problem and do the necessary actions to correct times. The kineo will also give you exercises and reminders on how to pick things up.

Gentle exercise can help lower back pain. Also taking some anti-inflammatory medicine like Ibuprofen can help to decrease the inflammation. Pilates is very helpful for me as I have a slipped disc and attend Pilates classes every week.

The classes help strengthen my core muscles which are the ones that control back movement. Keeping these strong is the key to strengthening your back - thus preventing further back pain. You can also use a lumbar cushion in your chair.

These can be good for supporting you when seated - at work for example when you're working on your computer. Here is a link to pilates video and lower back information. Common Causes of Lower Back Pain uk/lumbar-support/common-causes-of-lower-back-pain.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
