My girlfriend has back pain.  She has me apply pressure to the sides of the back (not near the spine)....?

If the chiropractor has not been helping she may need to seek treatment elsewhere.  Chiropractors have helped a lot of people, but so can massage therapists, physical therapists, and alternative treatments like acupuncture.  She should talk to an orthopedic doctor about her options.

Sounds like a back problem.Try talking to a chiropractor.

I would guess it's just a bad pulled muscle.  Sometimes they get that bad.  Hopefully some heat and maybe muscle relaxers will help her feel better.

Get her to the doctor! You need to get to the root of the problem rather than putting a band-aid on it, so to speak.

My boyfriend has an inversion table and it does help both of our back pain.  Try physical therapy, acupuncture, water exercise, heat and cold therapy....

Ok, i dont know how to spell it but it's your sciatic (umm...sigh+attic for pronounciation) nerve....muscles in your lower back are swollen and are rubbing against it when you move just the right (or wrong is more like it) way.  if it goes away after you sleep or dont move for a long time then you probably just need to make sure you lift correctly and dont strain your lower back, if it's a constant issue i'd suggest seeing a chiropractor.....sorry for the horrible spelling, but  i think you know what i mean :)

I think u r having some problem with ur spine. Consult a good orthopedic physiotherapist who is trained from abroad such as australia, if the change in the position changes the pain then it must be related to the spine(back bone) problem, kidney stones can also give the same kind of pains.\nGo do sonography to rule that out.To get the temporary relief u can try hot packs + deep heating modalities such as short wave or infra red near ur physiotherapist.

You're a great guy to be so empathetic for her. Lower back pain isn't fun, and I'm glad the laminectomy helped. \n\nIt may sound odd, but abdominal exercises help the back because strong abs can support themselves instead of pulling on the back muscles. So have her do crunches... lie on her back, knees bent and feet flat on the floor. She can put her hands behind her head or resting on her abs. (Having hands behind the head makes the exercise more difficult.) Then she should slowly curl up about halfway, and then go back down slowly. She should start with ten reps and do three sets, or whatever she can tolerate. Gradually work up to 20 reps for each set.\n\nFor her back, have her buy one of those inflatable exercise balls. I like the medium-size one -- about 18 inches across. She should get on her knees in front of the ball, lie face-down across it, cross her arms over her chest, and curl backwards. In other words, she should use her back muscles to curl and uncurl. \n\nOne yoga exercise that relaxes the back is the "Child's Pose." She should get on her knees and bring her head all the way to the floor, so she's completely folded up in a fetal position. Then place her hands alongside her feet. It stretches the back and helps to relax the muscles and ligaments. When she's in this position, you might also try gentle massage on her lower back. But put the pressure on either side of her spine, not directly on it.\n\nI hope she feels better soon.

Sounds like it. Look into steroid injections.A lower back is a TFESI...trans foraminal epidural steroid injection. My wife just had one yesterday as a matter of fact. They work really well for us.

It does sound like your back. Typically a pinched nerve in the mid thoracic area will affect an organ or nerve ending creating some pain. I would first get some deep tissue massage done on that area and see if it relieves some of your discomfort. Sometimes an imbalance in muscles will pinch those nerves in the spine. If it doesn't relieve it I would get a different opinion to find out what is going on.

I'm no expert, but I would recommend minimizing her torso movement as much as possible. Icing the area could help as well, but do it carefully. No more than 10 minutes at a time, or else you can actually do more hurt than good with ice.\n\nI don't know what the doc recommended for pain reduction, but most of the time it's either heat or cold. With a back strain or spasm or the like (muscle problem), it's usually heat applied. With a break or sprain or the like, it's usually ice. I'd double-check with the doc before you do anything. Minimizing movement is important, though. Any movement of a broken bone is painful...ribs will likely be more so.\n\nI hope you can find something to help her. :-) Broken ribs are a difficult injury to deal with.

I have noticed the same thing with my memory foam bed. I guess they aren't for everyone.\n\nI would try a warm bath or a heating pad or even one of those therma care patches.\n\nAs dumb as this may sound - you might be constipated. Lower back pain on one side can be a sign of that.

More than likely it's due to the pregnancy... your baby is going to be putting on weight soon so the placenta is gonna get bigger-  causing pain in your sides, back, ect. But just to be safe I would bring it up at your next check-up

It may be a psiatic nerve pinching inbetween your back bones. My mother had the same symptoms as you do. Ask your doctor about it. Do you have any back pains that go along with it?
