Seeing your doctor may be a good first step.  You might also experiment with different kinds of pillows to determine whether your neck problems etc are related to that.

Most sciatica pain responds well to self-measures.  You'll heal more quickly if you continue your usual activities but be sure to avoid the move that triggers the pain.  For pain relief, you'll have to see what works best for you.  NSAIDs such as aspirin, naproxen sodium and ibuprofen will alleviate both pain and inflammation.  Acetaminophen alleviates pain only.  But there's a limit as to how much pain these can control.  Make sure your doctor is aware of what you take, how much & how often and how effective it is.  For more severe pain that is unrelieved or inadequately relieved by NSAIDs or Tylenol, your doctor may want to prescribe an anti-inflammatory and a muscle relaxer, a tricyclic antidepressant or an anticonvulsant.  You can also use the hot-cold method.  When the pain starts, apply ice packs or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel to the affected areas for 15-20 min. 4x a day.  After 48 hrs. apply heat (heating pad on the lowest setting, heat packs commercially sold or a heat lamp).  You can alternate hot and cold if necessary.\n\nGentle stretching for the lower back may relieve nerve root compression and make you feel better but try not to jerk or twist your back.\n\nProlonged rest will worsen your pain.  FYI:  Naprosyn (naproxen sodium) is available over-the-counter.   You don't need a prescription.  And Aleve IS naproxen.

I had a frozen neck for 20 years. I went to an accupuncturist and he fixed me in one visit. I can see behind me now... A miracle. \n\nNeuromuscular massage is great. Give it a try.\n\n30 minutes of sunlight a day can help.\n\n75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. They also are minerally deficient. The Water Cure, drinking 6-8 glasses of distilled water with a pinch of unrefined sea salt will cure 50% or more of people with chronic back pain. Body aches are a signal to your body to eat and drink but most Americans drink flouridated, chlorinated water or contaminated spring water and eat processed and toxic foods or demineralized foods. Drinking 6-8 glasses of distilled water with a pinch of sea slat could do the trick,\n\nI would also take a tablespoon of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar in a glass of carrot juice, grape juice(unsweeteened) or apple juice with a dash of cinnamon three times a day.\n\nMSM is a good sulfur supplemt that could ease the pain.\nWash it down with a shot glass of tart cherry juice three times a day.\n\nBack pain is your body telling you to take care of it. Will you anser?

If you are having back pain and neck pain chronically, it's time to see a doctor. It sounds to me like Spondylitis - Arthritis of the spine. Or maybe Sarcoiliitis - inflammation (Arthritis) of the Sacrioliic Joints. This is what I have. \n\nBut you never really know until you see a specialist. I suggest either going to your PCP (Primary Care Physician) or get a Rheumatoloigst.\n\nI can help more if we chat though.. email me at;\n\neileenprince@sbcglobal.net

If you have cervical spondylosis, symptoms may last for several months or become chronic. Most of the time if symptoms are mild, the doctor may recommend a variety of non-surgical treatments. Rest, medication and physical therapy may take away most of your symptoms, but do not treat the underlying cause. The doctor may want to see you again to check if symptoms have gotten better, worse or stayed the same. \n\nRest. You may need to wear a soft cervical collar or neck brace to limit neck motion and relieve nerve irritation. \n\nMedication. The doctor may prescribe non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) or other non-narcotic pain relievers to relieve pain and reduce swelling. \n\nPhysical therapy. A cervical traction device, hot and cold therapy or active exercise program may help relieve symptoms. Exercises may include neck strengthening, neck and shoulder stretching and aerobic exercises. Gentle massage and improving your posture may also help. \n\nSurgery. Surgery may be necessary if you have severe pain that does not improve with other treatments or progressive neurological symptoms. Surgery may remove bone spurs or disk material (decompression) and provide lasting relief.

tens will help for a while, until your body gets use to it.  what is does is send stimulation to the brain at a faster rate than pain.  tens usually is a short term, and it masks the pain but will not cure it, check with your doctor for other options like physical therapy (look into manual therapy) or chiropractic, the only way to "cure" back pain is to fix the problem.\ntens will help if this back pain just happened and you use it to control pain during the healing process.

Try a neck pillow while sleeping and go to a message therapist, you will be surprised on how much better you'll feel.  I can give you a neck massage.   Where do you live?

The best is to train your neck so it becomes stronger, massage is also good, apply warm towels on it and if the cramp is too strong then medicine might be needed such as diclofenak or naproxen , something that relaxes your muscles.This website contains info wich can be useful for you hope it works! http://www.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_atoz/sig54597.asp

Don't know of any cures, but you may want to see an acupuncturist.  Acupuncture is very effective at treating a wide array of pain conditions.

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.

Stretching, exercising, sleeping in the right positions, seeing a physiotherapist to give you a personalized routine and apply heat/cold correctly to your body.\n\nEasy way to get the pain to subside considerably: stretch everyday.  Good stretch for your back:  hold onto something that will hold your body weight (like a door handle) that is waist high and lean your whole body out with your feet under where your hands are holding, this will stretch out your back.  Other than this, just do 15-20 min of various stretches, holding each stretch for 1 minute.  \n\nGet an exercies routine.  If you don't want a gym membership, then make a point of walking for 20 minutes everyday.  At least it is something. \n\nHow old are you?  Sounds like you are in your twenties.\n\nWhen we leave our teens our body starts to solidify.  This is my terminology for the fact it's not growing anymore and it becomes more and more solid.  It's not naturally changing all the time, so we need to keep it moving, keep it flexible, and keep it working.  \n\nI cracked my neck a couple times in  high school, and had been able to slack off on the exercise for several years, but it caught up with me in the form of constant pain, knots continually under my shoulder blades, and greatly decreased upper body strength.  I started stretching everyday, even just for 5 minutes if I'm busy, and exercising at the gym a minimum twice a week, and now I have NO pain.  NONE.  It's been 6 months.  I don't do much, but the little bit has changed my entire body.  \n\nOk, so enough home remedies, you're having pain with no immediate results on the attempts you've tried.  Have you seen a physiotherapist?  Get a doctor's referral and go - it's totally worth the $35 fee or whatever they charge where you are.  They will apply heat to your back and teach you all the exercises you  need for that part of your back, exercises, stretches etc.  And they'll teach you how to sleep and sit and everything that will improve your back.  \n\nI saw my physiotherapist before beginning my exercise and stretch routine, and it was the best investment I've made for my body.  \n\nGood luck.
