My advice:\n\n1.   At night, sleep on your side, legs slightly bent, with a thin pillow between your knees.  This will reduce the presure on your spine as you sleep.\n\n2.  Stretch your back several times a day.  A good one is lay flat on your back, rotate your trunk, with your left leg straight and your right leg bent, try to touch your right knee to the ground to your left. Then straighten your right leg, bend your left leg, rotate your trunk, try to touch your left knee to the ground to your right.  Another good one is when sitting, reach your right hand behind your head, and touch your left shoulder blade, then reach your left hand behind your head and try to touch your right should blade.\n\n3.  If your a student, you should have access to the campus health club.  Join, and ask to be shown stretches and exercises specifically for your back (explain that you've had some back issues).

Drink lots of Trinity Springs Mineral water. The minerals in the water such as silica will help strengthen you back bones and tissue.\nSee a physical therapist if possible, they can give you exercises to help strengthen the back muscles and reduce tension in the affected area.

It depends on whether it's muscular or disc related.\n\nFor muscular: sleep flat on your back on a firm surface with your legs bent. Do excercises to strengthen your abdominals. Weak abs are a primary culprit in back strain. Use proper body mechanics. Not too much lifting, and when you do, bend your knees and keep the load close to you. Remember, prevention is easier than cure.\n\nDisc: See a chiropractor, they'll feel it out. Then, see an orthopedic surgeon. Get their advice before doing careful stretching, inversion therapy, and yoga, if you can handle it. Here again, prevention is easier than cure. Try yoga, and eat lots of fiber.

Ive got a simillar problem to Yours! I have to bulged disc's #3 and #5 in my lower lumbar, and let me tell you there is no quike fix. I got hurt at work last Jannuary 2006 and after 7 epidurals I am now slated for a full blown back surgury! I feel for you! I have chronic back pain, and have run the gauntlet looking for relief, I've tried, Perscription drugs, Loratab 10's 5 a day!(Same as Vicoden but no acetemetphen/Tylenol) Alchohol (Makes it worse (The pain). I most recently am using pot! I dont smoke it, but rather leach out the THC into butter and use it as a spread for toast or abit in my morning oatmeal whatever, And I by God Works. But I am going in for surgury on the 27th of this month. And at this point, Though I have heard all types of horror stories about back surgury, I welcome the promise of relief. Good luck to you!And hang in there

get some icy hot patches. And get  some one to give you a massage. It also depends what kind of bed your sleeping in..Make sure its not that soft. Cause then your back is not stright and that will cause more pain

If it's been going on that long, what do the doctor's say?\nLow back problems include spondylitis, lumbar stenosis, fractures of the vertebrae, inter-vertebrae disc problems, and possibly something pressing on the spine.\nThere's a mountain of information on any of the internet's quality medical websites like http://www.webmd.com

i have the same problem! apparently it's because i have bad posture, try sitting straighter - no slouching, maybe try a massage or go to a chiropractor - that's what i did.

i ripped the muscles in my back a few years ago which put me in hospital. as a result all the bones in the base of my spine stopped working properly and i was told i would need surgery.\ni went to see a chiropractor, who managed to free it all up after a few sessions.\nhe gave me some strenching exersices to do every morning, apparently they are pretty common techniques. i was also told to gradually build up my abs as it takes the strain off your back.\nmy back isn't perfect now and i'm told it never will be, but i went from constant daily pain to now having the occasional twinge.\ngo see a chiropractor, and SLOWLY build your abs. also losing weigh helps a lot

If the pain is frequently, you shoud visit a doctor so you don't risk hurting your back anymore.  If you can afford one, think about working with a personal trainer to learn how to properly do the exercises so you don't hurt yourself.  If the back pain continues, see a chiropracter or get a massage to relax the muscles.

try thermal care patches and then if that doesnt work ask your mom to take you to your family doctor and he will tell your mom what you can do for your back

I was told that exercise to increase strength of muscles in back can help. But make sure you do it under doctor care. You could do more damage then good if you don't do the right ones for your condition.

Honestly that sounds like me in my calculus class during 1st period.  Lower back pain can be caused by weak abdominal muscles, and headaches can be caused by dehydration.  Drink more water and see if that helps with the headaches, your memory, and maybe even your fatigue, and if you are a little overweight like I am, try doing some sit-ups, that can help with your back.

The best way to help you is by going to see a Chiropractor. 80% of all Americans suffer from low back pain at least once in their lifetime and Chiropractic has been shown to be the best (and only) method to correct the problem.

Yes...extra weight (especially in the stomach area) can cause back problems.....also try getting a good mattress.

I think a back brace would be really helpful to you. I have linked to one of the best back braces out there.

you can get an ergonomic assessment. or check to see that there is no strain on your back, hands. plant your feet flat on the ground and sit upright. Place your monitor such that your eyes look straight into it.\n\nFor more info: http://www.spine-health.com/topics/cd/ergo/ergo03.html
