Need a bath soak?!


Question:

Need a bath soak?

I pulled my back, and have been to the doctor for it. She gave me tylenol but nothing helps.


Answers:

As others have suggested, you can try Epsom salts, but getting in and out of the tub might not be advisable with a back strain. You might try those single, one-time use heating pads that target specific areas, and rotate the heat with cold compresses. You might try Ibuprofin as opposed to Tylenol, as it helps more with inflammation associated with injury. You can try laying on your back with two towels rolled up together longwise tucked under your knees. It helps the alignment of your spine. Hope you feel better soon! I sympathize with back pain... been there, done that! :)
