I don't know what I did to my back but it hurts so bad right now. I am currently "feelin' the burn" because my grandmother rubbed Icy Hot on my back and I also took some ibuprofen. A couple of my friends suggest I try to crack my back - others suggested a hot shower. What kind of remedies do you use when you come across back pain? Have you ever heard of something someone suggested that just sounds like it wouldn't help at all or maybe nobody really ever thinks of?

I can honestly say that I had a horrible back pain one day, I did some tai chi that was on the tv that just so happen to be for back pain (great timing) and the pain went away instantly. Other than that, I would have just remained in the bed, immobile and hopeful that the pain would go away

Hi LiveLove. I know what you mean about remaining immobile - I am currently sitting in ONE position on my couch kind of half laying down and have not moved for at least 45 minutes.
SoulTaker, I'm sorry you have such back pain. I hope it gets better.

My back issues are not that serious. I can usually lie down or stretch and just let my back rest for a bit. If you pulled a muscle you need to let the sprain heal. You can try alternating ice and heat until it gets better.
