My Aching Back

I don't know what I did but my back is killing me.
When I got up from my desk chair last evening I felt a twinge in my lower back and thought "oh no". Needless to say it got worse as the night progressed, I couldn't sleep very well and now I'm hobbling around this morning.
Today will be a day of alternating heat and ice with the hopes this gets better quickly.
What really stinks is that this is the second time in just a few months that this has happened. Last time it took weeks before I felt like my "old" self.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is minor and my "old" self will be fine in no time.

Oh, I definitely feel for you. Nothing can ruin a day like a back that decides to begin aching. I have tried heat, but never ice... I will have to remember that!!

My chiropractor always suggested alternating both. Sadly I live too far from him now

Roomie has a lot of trouble with his back. I hope it is not the mattress he is using here. I hope your back pain is short lived.

@Marilynda1225 If it doesn't get better you could always try those TENS devices..they are supposed to be good.

@Marilynda1225 I've had a tough week. I am getting very frustrated with the time that it takes for my back to heal. Today I am going for a hair appointment. I told my girl that I would shower and wash it here and go over with it wet. She may just have to spritz it down, before cutting, but it will surely help me feel better. I wanted to get my low lights put in, but my back won't allow me to sit for that long just yet.
I hope that today is a better day for you.

@Marilynda1225 It is better, a back ache is painful and annoying.

If it's not better in a day or so I'll definitely have it checked

My back was killing me today too, and I don't know why, or what I possibly did to make it hurt so much. I'm hoping it will feel much better after a hot shower and good night's sleep.

@Marilynda1225 I don't know if I just slept wrong, or bent over wrong, or what, but it definitely was weird how I was feeling great one minute and then my back was killing me the next minute.

Take it from me who has chronic back problems- it could be your bed needs to be firmer, chair not right, etc. You should ask at the doc's and get a referral for physio or something before it gets worse. It does help a lot.

I'm hoping it will be better tomorrow. I've had it before and sometimes it can put me out of commission for weeks

Fortunately most back issues usually get better with rest. Ice and ibuprofen should help....

If ice packs and heat has cured it then it could just be a muscle pull somewhere. A bad posture could lead to this

@Marilynda1225 I use Sumo Gel that gives me relief when my muscles ache.

I'm sure it's just a minor pull because I do feel better today

Thanks for the healing thoughts. Yes I have prescription ibuprofen which has really helped. I wish my back pain didn't keep me from my daily routine
