What can I do to relieve my back pain?!
Question:
What can I do to relieve my back pain?
The pain starts just below the neck and goes all the way to the lower back. Due to medical conditions, I cannot take "over the counter" pain relievers, and my doctor is unable to see me until Monday. I just need some sort of temporary relief. Any ideas?
Answers:
Hot and cold alternately. First, apply heat, then ice packs. Also, if you can tolerate it, do some stretching. I had severe back pain last summer, and with the help of yoga stretches, I was pain free quickly! Start out slowly, then adjust the stretch according to your pain. Here is a site from Ladies Home Journal that shows you some of these stretches. http://www.lhj.com/home/yoga-positions-a...
Good luck, and God Bless!
