Answers:
Just make sure to rest it often and dont push yourself too hard, so your back can recover!. Stretching sometimes also helps the pain!. But be very careful, because your back is intricate and can easily be hurt again!. Have you tryed Icy Hot!? It works really well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Let's see!.!.!.you can take an anti-inflammatory like Motrin, you can use a muscle liniment like Icy Hot or Flex-All, you can put an ice pack on the injured area, you can use patches like the ones Icy Hot makes, you can take a hot bath, you can sit in a hot tub, and the obvious one is go see your doctor (and he/she could get you a referral to go to physical therapy where they could stretch your back and maybe do ultrasound or something like that)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Go to a Chropractor!. Find a certified one who will take a x-ray of your back before he even does anything!. I dont even get allergies anymore after going to one!. They should be a big help!. They take most insurance also!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
