I have bad lower back pain, too.  A chiropractor is the best treatment for that, if you have time to go.  I take advil every four hours and that helps and resting on a heating pad.  My doctor also says to put a pillow under my legs when I'm laying down.  There are exercises to do but you would have to go for physical therapy to learn the best way to do them.  Years ago my doctor referred me to "Back School".  It's only a temporary help.  A chiropractor has a massaging machine that massages your back with heat.  It's great.

Running is a very high-impact activity on your body.  One thing that you can do, and this sounds strange, but it can alleviate a lot of lower back pain as a result of running and other activities, is to do some light weight training exercises.  Supplement the running with weight-bearing exercise, and a lot of the pain should decrease.  \n\nYou can also try taking medication, but I'm sure you don't want to become dependent on that or anything.  You've already done well with picking out good shoes and a good surface, by the way.  \n\nAlso, there are a lot of stretching exercises you can do to strengthen the muscles in your lower back.  In the "sources" section, I'm giving you some links to check out to show some different stretches and things you can do to help.  Good luck!

If you have not injured yourself with a fall or a lift, then you need to go to an emergency room.  There are many internal things that can cause intense back pain like you describe.  Gall bladder for one, but because there are tests that need to be done to determine which you have, you MUST get to an emergency room.  Many of the problems can be quite dangerous if you are alone.\nGo now, if you live close. If you feel your pain will prevent you from safely driving, call 911,or have a friend or relative drive you.

First, see a doctor for xrays to rule out pinched nerve, cracked or broken bone(s) that may not have healed properly. Also rule out tendon or muscle pulls you may be continuing to aggravate due to your natural movements, work, sports, etc. Once you have ruled out those causes:\nFor some people, sleeping on a hard surface, like the floor, for 7-10 days can greatly reduce or eliminate the pain, since you are not putting extra tension on the back while sleeping/tossing/turning.  Do this after a very warm 20 minute bath which will relax your muscles and help you sleep.\nSit-ups, as many as you are comfortable with, daily will strenghthen abdominal muscles which will take strain away from back muscles for natural support. Massage therapy from a RMT can work wonders as well. Consult your physician about chiropractic, with a full understanding of the possible risks and benefits. Avoid Rx unless it is your last resort,  consulting with a pharmacist for precise advice. Products such as "Icy Hot" patches are very effective for temporary 8-12 hour relief. Carefully examine your posture while sitting and standing, expecially at the computer. Use a very good chair with proper lumbar support and maintain a straight back, not slouching. If you frequently have to drive for long periods and your vehicle is not properly equipped, buy a good quality lumbar/leg support seat pad, perhaps with the heating and/or vibration options at any dept store.\nIn Canada, you can actually get a Rx from your doctor to purchase a hot tub/jacuzzi, making the purchase deductible from your income tax. Check with your tax dept. A hot tub is excellent therapy if you have no cardiovascular conditions, such as hyper or hypotension and mostly fun anyway!

Please see a doctor, it sort of sounds like sciatica but you need to have a professional examine you and make a diagnosis.

First you should see a doctor or chiropractor to determine if there is a serious problem. If you just have moderate low back pain with no obvious injury, there are a few things you can do. Alternate heat and ice 5-10 minutes each every 1/2 hour. There are stretches you can do to strengthen your back and ease the pain. It is very important to do some type of stretching or exercises. If you don't, things will get worse as you loose muscle tone! Good luck! It may seem like it will never get better..just give it some time and it will if you take the time to do what you need to do heal yourself!

Could it be stress?  Sometimes when people get stressed out it can cause neck, shoulder and lower back pain.  You should have someone rub it for you, take a long hot shower or bath or go in a spa if you can.  Good luck!  I hope that it feels better soon.

The thing here is that there was probably some reason why your back was thrown out in the first place.  It's weak and/or you over did it, you have a bulging disk because your back is out of alignment or because you have some chronic infection or degenerative condition.  Get into better shape and consult a doctor if you still have problems later on.  Remember, though, whatever kind of doctor you go to, that's what kind of treatment he/she will recommend...  Get their advice but think for yourself before you start popping pills, go under the knife, or pay someone to dance around on your back once a week for the next 2 years.

hi,\n\nTaking pain killers to relief from your back is not your right decision. Pain killers have great side effects. Avoid taking pain killers if the pain is not severe. Home remedies are safe and secure for your future health too. Some effective home remedies for back pain are:\n\n* Raw potato is an ancient home remedy for backache, Application of raw potato in the form of a poultice has been found very effective in this condition. \n* Massage with eucalyptus oil is also very effective remedy, mustard oil can also be used. \n* Take half a gram of dalchini powder with one-teaspoon honey at least twice a day for best results. \n* Oil prepared from garlic and rubbed on the back will give immediate relief. \n\nGood Day !!\nMaria

First, if the pian is severe, you should see a doctor. There may be a medical reason for the back pain.\n\nHere's a list of exercises that target the lower back. Also, working your abs will really help take pressure off your lower back. And losing that "spare tire" will be a big relief.

Do you know what the cause of your back pain is? Sometimes if you lift something heavy improperly, it will hurt a few days later (not at the time of the incident). Or sometimes it is related to women's periods. It could also be your chest that is sore, but you feel it in your back. Find out the cause and then you can work on ways to make it feel better. Heating pads are nice if the muscle is spasming or tight. Ice pads are good for new injuries, but only for the first 24 hrs. And of course massages are great. If you have the money invest in a few massage sessions (assuming that the damage done to your back is minor). Massages are cheap too, only about 50 dollars for an hour. And it's worth it when you walk away feeling great! Of course Motrin will help with the swelling. But if you can't get the pain under control, see a physician for an examination, some X-Rays and some better pain medication such as Vicodin. Good luck!

Personally, I don't suggest you to see a chiro. You may however try putting hot compress on the area for 20 - 30 min a day or as needed. Then try stretching back muscles. Also, strengthen muscles on your back. If the pain worsens, try seeing an orthopedic doctor. You you will go through an a xray to check if it's your spine that's causing the pain. If it's the muscle, go to a physical therapist. You can be treated with Ultrasound and they'll teach you the different exercises that can stretch and streghten the muscles supporting your back legs.

It sounds like you strained some of the muscle in your lower back. Normally if the sciatic nerve is injured you will feel the pain radiate down one or both legs. Try giving your lower back a rest for 7-10 days. Use moist heat on it by lying on your stomach and placing a towel soaked in water as hot as you can stand without burning. Some heating pads come with a foam insert for this purpose. Use Ben Gay, Icy Hot or something like that on your lower back. The patches work very well and are rather convenient. But, do not bandage or wear tight clothing if you use these products.\n\nAlways stretch well before you exercise. This lets your muscles loosen and warm up before you put them in a strain.\n\nThat's the best advice I can give you. If this does not work I suggest you see a doctor before you do damage that can't be repaired or that will require surgery.\n\nTry the link below for some more information.\n\nSincerely,\nTerry

I hope this gets to you in time and I am sorry..I know how bad back pain can be.\n\nSince my insurance has discontinued paying my once a week visits to the chiropractor (I had multiple severe injuries and it helped to see him),.\n\nI can't afford it for 2 years and have found great help for any muscle pain from MAGNETS. \n\nSometimes within 5 minutes and often by morning, all pain is gone or greatly reduced.  Magnets work on between 85-90% of people.\n\n I use magnelyfe brand (but the tape is no longer any good and doesnt stick and you lose magnets so don't use the tape that comes with it...the tape (waterproof) that you stick magnets on with USED to stick 3 days but they redesigned it and  now only sticks  5 minutes (on me anyway).  \n\nI have been using waterproof first aid tape at the grocery till I find a magnet supplier tape I like.  I use 10,000 guass disc magnets  ( they are about $20 for two but on sale here for 13.99 (plus s & H) or do a search or try local health food stores.\n\nhttp://www.myvitanet.com/magneodmagsu.html\n**********************************************************\n\n**********************************************************\n\nDr. Schulze's formula "deep tissue oil is said to be good (i-800-herbdoc)\n  \nhttp://www.herbdoc.com/p58.asp\n\n************************************************************************************************************************\n\nAlso try hot/cold showers..run the water as hot as you can take it on the area for one minute then switch to ice cold for one minutes..do 7 hots and seven colds (eventually you will be able o take hotter and colder when you get used to it).\n***********************************************************\n***********************************************************\n\n                   IMPORTANT\n\nThe most longer lasting help is by visiting a good chiropractor trained in the palmer method.  I was in 20-25 wrecks (only a couple my fault) and also hit by a car while walking and almost run over (I was under her car) \n\n A neurologist said my low back (I also had other injuries) was extremely herniated and I needed immediate surgery...\n\nI said I wanted to try conservative treatment with my chiropractor first (because I knew he had fixed me before).  The neurologist angrily screamed at me as I was leaving "I guarantee you'll be back in a week--you will not be able to stand the pain."  Thankfully, I never had to go back and submit to his knife.\n\nAlthough my back will never be normal as each time it's injured it is more fragile, weakened, and prone to injury and although it took considerable time, my chiropractor fixed me--I went from a wheelchair to walking (now walking about 45 minutes a day but could do more if I tried)..so I love my chiropractor.\n\nI thank God I didn't get surgery as I run into people all the time who are still screwed up because of surgery 20 years later.  I suspect I would be a lot worse off if not for my chiropractor...(I have an especially good one--smart and nice)..he said mine was the worst herniated disk he ever worked on.  \n\nKeep in mind as the muscles are pulled and disc put back in place via adjustments to the correct allignment,(muscles  stretch and get used to the wrong place ) they are usually not strong enough to hold and slip back to the bad place..consequently,the chiropractor must do it repeatedly (requiring sometimes a few visits a week) sometimes you might feel worse after an adjustment (if I did it was usually better in an hour or so) but eventually it will stay in the right place longer and longer until one day it is fine. \n\n Government studies show chiropractic (and excerise) are the best treatments for low back pain.  The AMA was angry at this study and lobbied to stop another one about neck pain where chiropractic is also a star.  Don't be tense or afraid as that makes it harder to adjust..concentrate on relaxing (I find putting cold pack on it right before s

I'm going to guess the major pain is coming from your back. First, check with your doctor, what exactly is wrong with your back? Hard to tell you what to do but, sitting is one of the worst things for back pain. you need to start doing some very light exercise and then increase you activity level as the pain subsides. Now you can be active and have pain, so you have to get into proper stretching and strength exercises. Like I said it's tough from here. \nI had back surgery for a ruptured disk, it messed up the nerve big time. Tylenol sort of works to keep the pain managable, exercise is the key. You just have to be careful 'cause it's easy to pull things when you start out.
