Take Ibuprofen and apply ice to affected area, but only leave the ice on for about 20 min every 1 or 2 hours, this will reduce swelling and pinching of the muscle and nerves. good luck

Surgery should be your last option. \n\nI suggest seeing a physical therapist if necessary but avoiding poor posture. Positioning for comfort and daily abdominal crunches should help. \n\nIf it hurts don't do it. And get a comfortable bed. \n\nIf you get back spasms due to the herniation, see your doctor, you may need an antispasmotic. \n\nLow back pain is a chronic condition. There is no easy fix. Therefore, think long term solutions. You know your body and your pain better than anyone...gauge the effectiveness of your interventions by how you feel. \n\nDon't overly rely on pain meds. They can build tolerance and don't cure you. Use them only for the really bad days. By the way, alternative pain interventions really work. Don't think they don't. Research yoga or meditation. Avoid chiropractors for herniated discs. They won't help in the long run. \n\nHope that helps.

You have my sympathy..back problems are so debilitating,I know,having suffered for many years,ranging from Sciatica to a Prolapsed Disc.\nMy advise to you would be,plenty of rest with a cold compress on the affected area,pain-relief and anti-inflammatory and a cream/ointment designed for muscle strain etc.\nMaybe you could ask someone to massage some Tea Tree and Lavender blended with a good carrier oil such as,Almond,into the lower back using as much pressure as is comfortable for you.\nIf any of the above don't improve your condition then I suggest you visit a Chiropractor or see your GP and ask for an x-ray just to rule out anything more serious such as disc problems or trapped nerves.\nI wish you a speedy recovery and hope you are feeling better very soon.

Invest in a Homedics massager (model PA-1). It's a very good deep tissue massager, the only one on the market I have found to actually be therapeutic. You can pick one up at your local wal-mart or target. I got mine when they first came out and it cost around 40 or 50 dollars. Might be less now. You could be having tension in your shoulders. Everyone deals with stress differently. Mine goes to my neck and shoulders too and sometimes my back. As far as medicine, there isn't really anything you can take that will correct the problem. Pain pills will only cover up the symptoms as will other meds, but they won't heal anything. Try eating foods with more vitamin D and if you want you can try herbal supplements that knock the edge off of pain such as devils claw or feverfew. And don't over work your arms and shoulders, but do light exercises so they don't get weaker.

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!

Be honest ask for other options.  Be willing to try a multi facited approach to pain.  Meds are only part of the long term solution.  A second opinion might be uselful

You poor woman! What is this world coming to?!If I were you, I'd call in EVERY DAY to see if there's been a cancellation with your Dr. OR, I'd get another DR! Hon, your predicament IS an emergency. This is very serious. You need to see the DR. pronto, so you may have some assistance.In the meantime, use hot compresses over pain; front and back and /or hot bathes.Geez, good luck

Ouch! Nerve pain like that is just awful. If you haven't experienced it, you can't explain it to someone else. It is so intense! When I was in my forties, I wrenched my lumbar vertebrae helping a service man move a 300-lb. gas cylinder. I even heard it when my back went out. I went to a chiropractor, and he cleared that out in ONE visit. Until you find a way you are willing to try, use ice to reduce the inflammation. When you do that to your back, everything gets swollen up and pushed tightly together. The ice pack makes the muscles contract and open up inside so all the parts can move again. This tightening up is called "splinting," and is a natural mechanism your body uses to protect that painful place in your back. The ice pack should be kept on twenty to twenty-five minutes per hour, possibly four times during the day. You will notice it getting much easier to bear. The ice pack also tells your brain to send more blood to that area, which helps to flush all that congestion away from the sore spot. I strongly urge you to see a chiropractor. In ONE visit, you will be able to immediately find relief to a very considerable extent from what has probably been driving you up the walls. The problem with this kind of pain is that it is relentless and does not stop while you are trying to sleep at night. If you begin to miss your sleep cycle, you will get strung out, crabby and irritable, and that just adds to it. So - if you are not keen on chiropractors, go to your family doctor instead, but do not sit home, in agony and immobilized in a chair. That would be just too stressful. Call a best friend to drive you to and from, if that would help you. Reach out. I am hoping others in this column at Yahoo! Answers will also offer you ways to get better really quickly. Please accept this huge load of love and support from Chris in South Portland, Maine, U.S.A. (I am 63 years old.)

wow!!  you have a great question, the reason why is because you want to talk about lower back pain.  There is no pill, trust me I know, I've behind on everything Oxy's and everything.  The best thing and is I know this might sound silly, or crazy cause that's what I thought at first.  GO  SWIMMING!!!!  I swim a half mile 5 days week, nothing fancy, I swim across, on my belly, nice and slow and easy, then on my way back I swim on back, nice and easy.  I'm not saying I don't get back pain any more, yes I do, but instead of it being a strong 10 now it's sometimes a 3 or 4 depends on the BAROMETER, if the barometer (air pressure) is Falling then Pain is Raising.  Go to www.wheatherchannel.com then go to the pain index, and it will help you more.  Please don't think a pill is going to fix the pain.  For the past four years the doctors have had me so messed up on drugs I didn't know if I was coming or going.  I do have a medical condition with my back, I do see a doctor.  I have degenerative back dease, plus arthritis, plus Fibri** how ever you spell it.  I hope this help, cause I believe after being all messed up on pain pills that's not the way to go, really try swimming, you need to go at least 5 times a week to make it work.  I did the shots too, I travel from Maine were I live to VA. where my sister lives hoping to find better help.  I'm really sold on the swimming thing, I thought it was crazy at frist too, but let me tell you those drugs those doctors will put you on will wipe your right out.  I would like to e-mail some ifo. on the kind of doctor I'm seeing for my back.  She is the best think ever.  She has helped me so much.  My back use to be so bad that I could be standing washing dishes and with no warning be right on the floor.  Trust me pills don't take that feeling away, when you are laying down, or sitting to long and you go to get up, and your all stiff and such, no pain pill takes that feeling away.  I know I have been dealing with this for a long time.  Like I said it not perfect, by swimming, but I know it helps better than some pain pill.  Really pain pills are not the way to go.
