I’ve been having lower back pains for a while now. what is the best pain reliever to take that is effective? I dont want to visit a doctor. I think it is my bad posture.

Well my mom has back pain right now and im asking if there is any way to get rid of it?

In the morning, my lower back (and hips) hurt really bad when sitting or standing up after sitting for a while. How do I know if this is an arthritis type thing or just back pain from something else? It’s been going on for a couple months now…

Just today I got some very bad back pain. It’s mostly located around my left shoulder, spine, and neck. It isn’t workout induced and I didn’t sleep on it wrong. I’m not overweight, so that isn’t causing it. As the day goes on it gets worse. Asprin and a heating pad doesn’t work, and neither does streching. How do I get rid of it?

Help me to rid this throbbing back pains, please i need no medicine or pain killers.

I have suffered for years with pain in my back and around my lower rib cage. It feels like I have a rib that has popped out of place. I have already tried everything else.

I walk home from school and it takes me about 20 minutes. I have a messenger bag and it’s not really that heavy, about 10 pounds, sometimes 15. Ten minutes into walking, I experience this sharp pain in the upper middle part of my back. It’s as if someone is poking me with a needle and it goes in.

I have severe lower back pain and I can not walk far. I have been every where and done everything. Nothing has worked. I have degenteritive disc disease and arthritis. The bones in my spine are flat against each other and very painful. The doctor said he was going to have me fitted for something that sends shocks to my spine. What is it called ?

The pain seems to be in my lower back in the center. I have tried laying on a hard surface, stretching, heating and icing, taking a hot shower and non-prescription pain killers (Advil). The pain is keeping me up. Any ideas on what else will work to get me to sleep fast and have a good nights rest? Best answer gets the 10 points and my undying gratitude!

I have had this pain in my lower back for almost 3 weeks now. It feels like it runs straight across from hip to hip but feels worst at my tailbone. I don’t think I did anything to injure it. The pain gets worse when I bend to sit or stand but pretty much hurts all the time. Its a pretty severe, kinda burning sort of pain. Advil isn’t helping much either. Its even painful getting in and out of the car. Any idea what it could be? or how to treat it?
Thanks sooo much for all the replies. I am 30yrs so hopefully this isn’t anything too serious. I will try the heat/ice, stretches, and some over the counter pain meds and see if it helps. If not I will see a dr. I was in Vegas a couple of weeks ago so I wonder if all that walking could have made a small problem much worse. Thanks again!!
