I've had back pains since i was 16 & unfortunately for me, there's nothing that can be done about it really. It made life awful after we had our first baby coz the pain got unbearable at stages, the pregnancy itself was very hard on me but YAY i managed.
You can try creams, you can try massage & stuff like that it just depends on whether there's actually a problem in your back or just a strain!
Good luck with your back pain & i hope you can find something that works for you!

thanks for that my dr says it strain cause it my 5 child and that i might take a bit longer to heal but i find if its cold my back starts up or if i sit for 5 min or more it really hurts when need to get up but at this stage im willing to try anything as i need to be active to keep up with all the kids thanks again

You're welcome :)
I find that heat or cold affects my back as well & i can usually shift it a little with a long hot shower or bath - it doesn't go away but gives me a little relief at least!

Wow, five kids! Bless your heart. I bet you have a lot of headaches too.lol. I guess I have been lucky as a never had a problem with back pain but I know several people who have. I get all my medical information from one site and I searched for it for you. This link will take you to a page with lots of helpful links on it. I hope you find something that will help you.
