I'm going to try a heating pad this afternoon and see if that works a little. Any tips or advice? Thanks! |
Be careful to not overdo the heating pad! It is best to alternate heat and ice. Sometimes the heating pad will make the muscles swell adding to the problem! I have had back problems since I was in elementary school and had back surgery 12 years ago, I've tried it all! Sometimes Aleve will help, but usually nothing I take helps, not even muscle relaxer! I strongly recommend a chiropractor...preferably one that is referred by someone you know. Most chiropractors have massage therapists now and they are great!
Hope you feel better soon!
