A nice long soak in the tub with a glass of your favorite beverage (wine, mixed drink, sherry etc.) with the lights low and soft music like classical. (Calgon take me away!!!) Use a soothing bath salt or bath beads with scents of lavender or rosemary.  More than likely that long day at work caused a lot of tension to build up. That long soak will help relax the tensed muscles. Before you go to bed take a ibuprofen like Motrin (only if you are still aching).

Have you contacted a doctor yet? How long has this been going on? There are many non-invasive treatments now available. \nTry using ice packs and heat pad alternately, 20 minutes each. The ice will numb the pain and the heat will relax the muscles. Also, Arnica massage oil used on the location will help ease the pain. Keep moving! Bed rest is good but not all day. However do not try lifting or reaching. Gentle stretches would be best. Also listen to soothing music while stretching, and visualize your back being in perfect condition, the disc slipping back into place smoothly and gently.\n\nHope this helps! with blessings

Eat some ice.. it won't make the pain go away, and the food won't taste the same, but you'll most def enjoy some of it.. Good Luck. :)

I have this too. You need to ask your doctor to send you to a pain management specialist. I take 2 vicodin a day. I take a noninflammatory. A antidepressant. I use ice packs. I had a couch made for me. It only has one long cushion on it. With that and pillows. I get the support that helps. There is only so much they can do for you. A nerve block is one. Surgery is another. Hope you find the help you need. God bless.

if you have a pain that lasts more than a couple of days, go see a doctor, because it could be more dangerous than you think. but if you are able to move around and it just hurts when you sit in a certain position or sit for to long, try a back patch. they work pretty well. also try the cold/hot. try a cold patch then a hot patch and continue to alter it. also try taking hot showers and letting the water roll down your back. you are also try sleeping on your side instead on your back, and then again you can try sleeping on the floor for a few nights. if you don't like sleeping on the floor, get a piece of wood (old door) and place between your mattress and spring, to give you extra support. try to take it easy for a while. it better to take care of it now than later.

take two excedrine and lay down with your eyes closed and be real still for about 30 to 45 minutes. it always works for me. if it doesn't take away the pain, i'm sure it will relieve some of the pressure then just take it slow. real slow. then if it still hurts maybe you need to see the doctor, it could be something more serious. good luck. i hope you feel better

Sucking on hard candy can help a little bit - something about the sucking is soothing, and kinda takes your mind off it a bit. Also, try to relax, by taking some nice deep breaths. Massaging your tummy area also can help a bit. Ask around if someone has any pain killers with them, I know I always keep some in my purse, maybe some other ladies do too!\n\nI hope you feel better soon!!!

My husband and I use a product called "blue emu" it helps alot.  Also you need to start watching what you eat.  I'm very very arthritic and stay away from FAT, it totally swells the pain in my joints to unbearable.  It really works, trust me.  Also there is a product called MSM and it is a wood pulp derivative and works very well in elevating pain. Ive been at this game for some time now.  Follow all these steps and it should really improve your pain considerably.

Have you tried physical therapy? A lot of times they can use interventions that are helpful such as relaxation, energy conservation, gentle stretching, moist heat, ultrasound, biofeedback and exercise to help with pain managmetn...Just be careful and dont listen if you get a therapist that tells you to work through the pain, ive learned with my FMS patients need a lot of rest. But in a lot of cases, there isn;t a lot that that can be changed, even with patient compliance

wheres the vicodin from you need a muscle relaxer and demerol that helps to get the pain down for me but see the doctor sometimes it takes me a week to feel right and you may need a doctor slip to deal with work issues

I hope this gets to you in time and I am sorry..I know how bad back pain can be.\n\nSince my insurance has discontinued paying my once a week visits to the chiropractor (I had multiple severe injuries and it helped to see him),.\n\nI can't afford it for 2 years and have found great help for any muscle pain from MAGNETS. \n\nSometimes within 5 minutes and often by morning, all pain is gone or greatly reduced.  Magnets work on between 85-90% of people.\n\n I use magnelyfe brand (but the tape is no longer any good and doesnt stick and you lose magnets so don't use the tape that comes with it...the tape (waterproof) that you stick magnets on with USED to stick 3 days but they redesigned it and  now only sticks  5 minutes (on me anyway).  \n\nI have been using waterproof first aid tape at the grocery till I find a magnet supplier tape I like.  I use 10,000 guass disc magnets  ( they are about $20 for two but on sale here for 13.99 (plus s & H) or do a search or try local health food stores.\n\nhttp://www.myvitanet.com/magneodmagsu.html\n**********************************************************\n\n**********************************************************\n\nDr. Schulze's formula "deep tissue oil is said to be good (i-800-herbdoc)\n  \nhttp://www.herbdoc.com/p58.asp\n\n************************************************************************************************************************\n\nAlso try hot/cold showers..run the water as hot as you can take it on the area for one minute then switch to ice cold for one minutes..do 7 hots and seven colds (eventually you will be able o take hotter and colder when you get used to it).\n***********************************************************\n***********************************************************\n\n                   IMPORTANT\n\nThe most longer lasting help is by visiting a good chiropractor trained in the palmer method.  I was in 20-25 wrecks (only a couple my fault) and also hit by a car while walking and almost run over (I was under her car) \n\n A neurologist said my low back (I also had other injuries) was extremely herniated and I needed immediate surgery...\n\nI said I wanted to try conservative treatment with my chiropractor first (because I knew he had fixed me before).  The neurologist angrily screamed at me as I was leaving "I guarantee you'll be back in a week--you will not be able to stand the pain."  Thankfully, I never had to go back and submit to his knife.\n\nAlthough my back will never be normal as each time it's injured it is more fragile, weakened, and prone to injury and although it took considerable time, my chiropractor fixed me--I went from a wheelchair to walking (now walking about 45 minutes a day but could do more if I tried)..so I love my chiropractor.\n\nI thank God I didn't get surgery as I run into people all the time who are still screwed up because of surgery 20 years later.  I suspect I would be a lot worse off if not for my chiropractor...(I have an especially good one--smart and nice)..he said mine was the worst herniated disk he ever worked on.  \n\nKeep in mind as the muscles are pulled and disc put back in place via adjustments to the correct allignment,(muscles  stretch and get used to the wrong place ) they are usually not strong enough to hold and slip back to the bad place..consequently,the chiropractor must do it repeatedly (requiring sometimes a few visits a week) sometimes you might feel worse after an adjustment (if I did it was usually better in an hour or so) but eventually it will stay in the right place longer and longer until one day it is fine. \n\n Government studies show chiropractic (and excerise) are the best treatments for low back pain.  The AMA was angry at this study and lobbied to stop another one about neck pain where chiropractic is also a star.  Don't be tense or afraid as that makes it harder to adjust..concentrate on relaxing (I find putting cold pack on it right before s

First, you need to decrease the pain.  Depending upon how long you have had the injury/problem would depend upon the advice I would give.  Ice normally works well for recent injuries - use for 10 minutes every hour.  If the problem is older than 7-10 days, try heat for 15-20 minutes.  If in doubt, use ice as heat can sometimes make it worse (even though it feels good).\n\nWhat sort of positions help to decrease your pain?  Different back problems respond to different exercises.  A really good website is www.mckenziemdt.org.  You can also find a certified McKenzie therapist who can determine the cause of your back problem.  This is a well researched technique which I use extensively with my back pain patients.\n\nOnce things start to calm down, I always use Pilates mat exercises, with modifications as necessary.  These will work the core muscles in your lower abdomen.  By getting these stronger, you can almost form a corset of muscular strength around the lower back.  Pelvic floor exercises/Kegals can also be important, especially if you have had a baby or other pelvic floor problems.\n\nA referal from your doctor to a good physical therapist should be able to determine the cause of your back problem and you will receive the correct advice to your problem.\n\nGood luck!

advil or tylenol is what i was recommended.  didn't completely relieve the pain, but it helped to ease it.

Just put cold water on and then apply some butter. The same as you would do today to relieve immediate pain.
