My best tip for back pain: Just remove back and rinse under slightly cold tap water, leave to dry and install after 24 hours.
Berdie
Went to a physiotherapist for 2 years just to find out I had to buy a better matress
killersponge
Please just go to a physiotherapist. The causes for back pain are very diverse and it's very easy to make it worse!

better hack: morphine
AaronPankey
Not to be pretentious but no muscle "causes" back pain.

Depends on the back pain.

LeeroyTheBird
I also have a cute butt. My mom said so.
ramenbrothersandsisters
Check with multiple health professionals first. I had glutes and obliques that wouldn't fire, leading to alignment and SI-joint issues
ramenbrothersandsisters
Doctors were utterly useless for me, because they don't understand alignment so well; but it could have been something else.

I find plenty of walking helps.

Yes unless your poor posture and mobility gives you bad walking movement and makes things worse

I recently had lower back pain, turned out to be kidney stones. See a doctor first before doing this stuff.
huizeMellema
Have you try it, maybe kidney stones disappear when you put a pillow under your dick
AdolfEngels
I learnt the only way to get rid of kidney stones is to drink a lot more water and flush them out

Yeah, my lower back pain was (almost) solved my managing my endometriosis. There are many causes and much better to treat the cause.

Best treatment I've found for lower back pain .....

Should also include proper body mechanics while lifting heavy objects. Always.No exceptions.I made that mistake and should have known better

I have severe spinal stenosis in my lower back and neck, degenerative disc disease, advanced arthritis etc. Please check with a Dr. first.
Cuntard
I would add see a "real" Doctor. NOT a chiropractor
madwaffler
I have a Neurologist, Family Doc, Pain Doc, and Orthopedic Surgeon that are my medical team. However, I do see a chiropractor for migraines
madwaffler
That are associated with my Spinal Stenosis in my neck. I've had a dual fusion and bone graft done on my neck and now have two more disc out

I have the same back crap that you do. sucks. I just fail to see how seeing a chiropractor does anything to treat a migraine. it's just 1/

Well I went to the chiro with a migraine I'd had for about 4 days. The first time he did an adjustment the migraine went away. That's all.

callmethelizardqueen
Yeah this is muscle pain, not back pain. It took me begging with docs for an mri they thought I was too young for anything beyond muscle.
callmethelizardqueen
After my doc apologized for doubting then told me I'm SOL.
AskMeIfImFunAtParties
I am in exactly the same predicament.
madwaffler
It took me almost 10 years to get a pain doc that would listen to me. I had to too young label branded on me also.

To hack back pains you need a tomahawk
tachikaze316
I mean...hacking the site of the pain with a tomahawk WOULD probably get rid of the pain AND keep it from coming back.
sphincterpleasecone
A bone tomahawk. Know what i mean??!!??
LiterallyYourMom
That's more of a crotch hack.
PrimaMateria
A word of advice from experience: Identify the cause of your back pain before trying any of these otherwise you may cause more harm.
CurbsideWhiskey
Also, I learned if you have a burning pain in your back, don't use heating pads or icy hot. It only makes it worse.
quintusfontane
^ Please take heed, especially if it's anything more than occasional minor aches. Serious back injury fucks your life in every non-fun way.
ChrisRossdontstop
Going on 5 years with mine it's the fatigue that gets me I can handle pain or full aches but it wipes me out
quintusfontane
I know that feeling. As my back got worse, the amount of activity I could do fell, as did my overall fitness. Just zero energy all the time.
lcplspanky
Slight scoliosis and an inflammation problem (forget the medical name) ibuprofen and a pillow under the side not hurting is all I've found
pistachiomoustache
Mine is from arthritis. I start PT soon.
IanABlakeman
I can completely agree. Suffered back pain for too long and when I went the doctors I was sent to a Physio Therapist and they all helped
LongGreasyDick
Yes, seriously. And try to get two opinions. I delt with back pain for 18 years before finally having major major surgery
liathum
I can't stress this enough. I spent 6 months at an Orthopedic clinic for my back pain when in three visits to a spinal neurosurgeon 1/2
liathum
I received a diagnosis and three options in regards to relieving my back pain. Second opinions are worth their weight in gold. 2/2
joemoedee
First Doctor wanted to do a spinal fusion on me. I bailed on that plan and am currently I'm looking for other opinions to fix me up.
liathum
Find a neurosurgeon that's familiar with CoFlex. I got one of those in the L5-S1 region with no loss of flexibility.
joemoedee
Spondyloslisthesis and spinal stenosis has made the day-to-day pretty lousy for me. Hooray for pain medication.
Anfalicious
The surgery is really risky too, doesn't have a high success rate. Glad to hear it worked for you.
GivesMeTrills
A family member of mine is in a wheelchair and has no sensation or movement to his left side due to complications. ????
Anfalicious
Yep. That's extreme, but I've heard a few stories of people whose pain just got worse.

Yep. He received a huge settlement. Like millions, but that obviously is insignificant, as he's wheelchair bound and super depressed.

Still trying to figure out my pain. Sore all over, doctors can't find anything wrong and doesn't even seem like trying.
DoctorCatDog
Go to a manual physical therapist. They do more than take a picture. They'll be able to help you!
liathum
Get a second opinion. If you're seeing an orthopedic doctor, hunt down a spinal neurosurgeon. They might be able to help.
FirstAidPoetry
Thanks, trying. In on my third doctor currently.
Tehidort
Seriously. I spent two years stretching and working my back to find out I have a tumor in my spinal canal. Learn before you do!

Very true! Doctor told hubby to do PT for muscle and it made his pain worse bc turns out herniated disc in his L5/S1 and he's only 28 :(

Doc referred to PT without x-ray or mri? Might have a negligence case there

He had had both and he didn't find anything (family doctor) we then went to a specialist after the PT told us to see an orthopedic doc.
