| Back pain relief? I have had such a backache for days now and I was wondering if anyone knows of any over the counter medicine that would help? I don't want to go to the Dr. because he'd probably want to give me a muscle relaxer. That's the last thing I need with two small kids! Look at how stoned Mommy is! I'm going to try a heating pad this afternoon and see if that works a little. Any tips or advice? Thanks!

| Have you tried Aleve? I have a very bad back, Aleve works great for me. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Advil doesn't work for me either...if you go to the store you may want to get some Aleve, i.e Naproxen Sodium...I always get the store brand. | |

| I'm currently home on disability for neck problems, so I've been to a lot of doctors lately... First of all my orthopedist suggests moist heat. Wet towel in a plastic bag covered with a heating pad. 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off. Aleve is also recommended. If it's degenerative disc disease the chiropractor will do more harm than good. Every one over 40 has DDD to some degree, and if you've had any kind of injuries it could be more developed than most. My husband and I both have it. He had to have spinal fusion surgery on his lower back when he was in his mid 30s because of sports injuries. I had a bad fall last year and after the surgeries and all the broken bones were healed I thought I was okay. Then in November, I ruptured a disc in my neck. Evidently my fall had damaged the bones in my neck and now they are degenerated more than they should be for my age (46) and aren't as supportive as they should be, either. If you've been having problems so long, you might want to get it checked. An x-ray will show them right away if there are degenerative disc problems. Also supplements seem to help. PM me if you want to know more... Sucks, huh! Hope you feel better.

I have a very bad back, they gave me pain meds, but I don't like to take them because you can't drive with them, and my children come first. I found Aleve works best for me, I don't even wear my brace as much anymore. Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks Sherry! I'm thinking maybe I should get it checked soon I'm just a big baby and put it off because I don't want to hear bad news which is so stupid! I really feel there's something more wrong than just throwing out my back now and then. I mean this time I don't remember doing anything that would warrant this pain. So if I go to a Dr. I should go to an orthopedist?
