Tips to help with pain?

So earlier today I somehow threw my back out. I bent down to pull something out of the oven and something just.. popped! I can hardly walk and can't lay in certain positions. I may go to the doctor tomorrow if the pain is still extreme. Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone has any tips or remedies or anything to help with pain in the meantime?

Thank you!

First off, I am sorry you hurt your back, that totally sucks! Back pain can be very debilitating. If it persists I would definitely go to the doctor. I get really bad back pain, I have arthritis in my back and have other problems that have led to multiple surgeries on my back. What I do for the pain may not be very witchy but it helps with my pain the most.

Ibpropheren (like advil) and a heating pad is what I do, along with some resting of your back muscles. I have also found light easy stretches, where you don't push the stretching, to be helpful. But be very careful if your back feels tight, and perhaps wait to stretch until the pain has subsided a little bit and the muscles have begun to relax and do not do deep stretches. I also use visualizations to work on directing the pain out of my body, especially when the pain is acute.

Also, to my belief pain creates an energy I do not like to have in my body, so what I do is to work on energy points or chakras and unblocking them from the energy the pain is creating. Of course if you believe differently, this step can totally be skipped.

I hope some of this helps and I hope you are feeling better soon! :)

You can also put on a pain patch if you can get some from the pharmacy but make sure not to leave them on past the recomended time. I'm sorry I didn't see this post sooner. I really hope that your back gets better soon. I would just set up a doctors appointment right away if you are covered medically. Pillows can certainly help by getting the right angle. My wife has back pain related to her nerve damage so getting her pillows at a certain slant helps a little. Keep us posted when your condition gets better! We're rootin' for ya! :)

I am sorry to hear about your back! I once hurt my back a long time ago and the pain was just awful! I really do hope you feel better!

Also, remember to drink lots of tea! Tea is wonderful and can help/cure many things!

Hope you feel better!
