Lower Back Pain

I tweaked my lower back lifting a few weeks ago and came back too early. There is no serious injury but how long do you think I'll have to wait to come back to it? :-5

I would say your doctor and your Physical Therapist (if your seeing one) would be the best judge of that.

don't go back lifting until its completely healed.

try a heating pad for 15 minutes.......several times a day

soak in a hot tub with epsom salts.

walk around and get your muscles loosened..don't lie down all day

if its really bad.....see your doctor.

And ...

Stretch daily within your comfort level.

Be aware of how you lift and twist from now on.

When you can go for Sleeping then you can use the a pillow between the knees while lying on one side may increase comfort. Some doctors recommend lying on your back with a pillow under your knees.Anti-inflammatory medications are helpful in treatment of both back pain and the associated inflammation.

Ibuprofen all the way, up to 600 mg at a time, just make sure to have something in your stomach!:)

Robacet with codeine......no prescription required.

ask your pharmacist as its behind the counter.

I don't think here we can get that without a perscription, but you can in Canada.

that's right Chonsi, in the US you need a prescription, I remember sending it to a member here and she loved it.

After a few weeks, your back should be fine. If you still have soreness or pain, I would see your doctor. I pull my back out every once in a while but it only takes a few days to get better.
