Back Hurts.....HELP!!!?!
Question:
Back Hurts.....HELP!!!?
My lower back has been hurting for 2 days. I have been to the Dr. and all he could do for me was pain pills and muscle relaxers, which is not working. I just want some relief, I feel like I am going to die from the pain. I can not sit for more than a minute or two or do my normal everyday stuff. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I did not injury my self in anyway or lift on anything, so I'm not sure why this is happening.

Go see a Massage Therapist. They can do some Trigger Point Therapy. The referred pain to your lower back is from your piraformis muscle in your glutes. Try sitting on the floor or couch on 2 tennis balls one on each side, and move a little bit until you feel a trigger point and hold it for 90 seconds or until you feel relief. then move slightly to find a new point. A trigger point is painful so sitting on a cushier chair may be better. Ice your lower back now more than 10 min 2 or 3 times in a day.
