Severe lower back spasms?!
Question: They are so intense and chronic. I ended going to ER for meds. Besides going to another quack Chiropractor, what kind of exercise effective for type of backache?

An MRI could show a bulging disk or similar problem such as spinal stenosis.
I get the impression that many neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons are loathe to operate so quickly as in former decades.
What works for me is core strengthening exercises in the warm water pool at my local healthplex. Actually the gentle exercises strengthen the muscles of the spine from neck to tailbone, as well as attention to the abdominals and the muscles of the pectoral and shoulder girdle. My pains are much less severe and less frequent with adherence to this regimen. There are numerous exercise regimens that a physical therapist can teach you. Motivation is necessary.
In the meantime, you obviously need pain medication. The ER doc may choose to give you a small supply so that you consult your personal physician about this. Also, ER docs have to deal with addicts who fake symptoms to get narcotics.

Have you been using a heating pad a lot? I had a lot of backpain with spasms and a doctor said the heating pad was making my back spasm. She gave me a skelaxin for the spasms and I used a lot of ice packs and IcyHot patches with menthol. If that doesn't help, you may have a slipped disk. Try walking around if you can stand it, that may help with your back.
