My back is hurting and I need help fixing it.?

My back just started hurting about 3 hours ago. I only hurts when I bend over or straighten back up. It is so bad that when the pain happens it literally puts me to the floor. I took my prescription pain medication 5 minutes after it hurt and that didn't help or numb the pain at all. This happens a lot and I don't know how to fix it.

Hi! Maybe I can help, I'm a massage therapist. I would definitely rule out the possibility of kidney infection first. Does it feel internal or does it feel external, like in the muscles? If you think it may be internal, go see a medical doctor and explain your situation.

If you think its external, go see a chiropractor asap. He'll take some x-rays and start giving you adjustments. Also, he will probably recommend massages, don't just get the stupid 15 min. sessions he may suggest, get the whole hour and make sure its deep tissue massage.

If your back is indeed inflamed right now, the best thing to do is to ice your back now to reduce swelling. It makes a huge difference so ice away for at least 24 hours or until the swelling has gone down.

Hope you feel better soon!
