How do you aide your back pains or muscle pains?

if i feel pain in my body, i call or i go to the "hilot" he or she massage the body part with pain. he/she use oil, or baby oil or coconut oil. but on the first time i feel it, i just stress out, same as you do.

whenever i had a back pains due to stress, work wrong sitting postures or some other reasons i usually make myself lie down straight in bed and make myself relax and if the pain is worst i take myself to a nice massage in a neighbor to my favorite old lola- not really my grandmother but still i called her lola as a respect. She is a manghihilot you know like a quack doctor. It really nice as it relax me after massage. Or sometimes i just put a linament on my back just to kill the pain and have a sooting feeling and it's relaxing and in the morning after i do some stretching and try not to slouch on the chair and have a proper sitting postures.

If I hurt like that I just usually take ibuproffen. I like to use a heating pad sometimes too. There's nothing that beats a good neck and back rub if the person doing it knows what they are doing and doesn't make it worse.

You know, if you haven't actually injured your back then it could be sore because of being stressed. I think that's how it started out with me and then eventually I did hurt it by overdoing it. You need to get it checked out first just incase you haven't injured or pulled something. I hurt my lower back late 2006 and found out I had a herniated disc. I had to have x-rays and an MRI done to determine that. Instead of opting for surgery, I went for physio and that helped me tremendously along with pain killers that were prescribed by my doctor. I don't have any bad ache now except if I slouch then I can feel a tingle at the bottom of my back.

If the pain really bothers you i advise you to see a doctor. Though stress, position and muslce pain can sometimes be relieved by hot or cold compress. Personally I prefer cold and if not relieved I take pain reliever.

I see that others have suggested this so, I will just be another one but, I wanted to chime in. I go to a Chiropractor once a month for regular adjustments. It really does help. My Dad is a Chiropractor so, I grew up with Chiropractic care. My Dad isn't my Chiro anymore as we live in different states but, it helps that I grew up with it. Anyway, I get migraines now and then. Not as often but, it still happens. And, I had one for 3 days before I went to see my chiro. I was in so much pain that I actually cried while he was working on me. Part of it was because migraines bring a lot of emotion out too because they are such a burden. So, he adjusted me and within 5 minutes, my pain went away. I had been in pain for 3 days and nothing else worked. Not an ice pack. Not pain relievers. Not even a nice massage from my hubby. It was a spinal problem and, once my Chiro adjusted my spine and got it back to where it was supposed to be, I was fine. So, do consider seeing one. And, you might consider getting off of the computer for a little while as the position you are in might be lending itself to the pain you are in. Take care and I hope you get to feeling better soon!
