Whats the best OTC medicine for back pain?
I always toss and turn in my sleep but apparently I did a number on my back last night. It's pretty painful so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on the best OTC meds for it? I already tried doing some stretches and it has loosened up some but I have to go take an exam soon and don't want to be focused on the pain instead of the exam.
Help with lower back pain, Mom thinks it might have something to do with my kidneys?
I've been having pains on my lower back and on the sides recently, and it very bothersome.
I am really worried, I don't want it to be kidney related, but I just want it to go away.
Any stretches or excersizes I can do, to make it feel any better?
Any tips on lower back pain?
I get slight jabs of pain in my lower back whenever I bend over a certain way or while trying to sit up straight. I know it must be from lack of exercise or physical activities (which I'm planning on turning around). Any stretches or exercises that can help?
Do you know what is causing my lower back pain?
I have had this pain in my lower back for almost 3 weeks now. It feels like it runs straight across from hip to hip but feels worst at my tailbone. I don't think I did anything to injure it. The pain gets worse when I bend to sit or stand but pretty much hurts all the time. Its a pretty severe, kinda burning sort of pain. Advil isn't helping much either. Its even painful getting in and out of the car. Any idea what it could be? or how to treat it?
Thanks sooo much for all the replies. I am 30yrs so hopefully this isn't anything too serious. I will try the heat/ice, stretches, and some over the counter pain meds and see if it helps. If not I will see a dr. I was in Vegas a couple of weeks ago so I wonder if all that walking could have made a small problem much worse. Thanks again!!

How can I strengthen my back or alleviate back pain?
I have naturally large breasts, but I'm small (as in my back size is 34, my height is 5 feet, and my cup size is DD). I believe the cause of my back pains are the fact that my back can not support the weight of my breasts. Anyway, my back pains are really inconvenient, especially since I like to stay in shape and many exercises and stretches strain my back even more. Is there anything I can do to develop a stronger back?

How does stretching my hamstrings help with lower back pain?
I've recently started PT for low-back pain. My diagnosis from my orthopedist is that my L5 is 70% collapsed. The PT has me doing all these hamstring stretches and I'm just not sure how this is going to help me long term. It doesn't feel like its relieving the pain- the same triggers (a lot of walking, standing for long periods of time) still put me in a lot of pain in my back and down my leg. It's not like stretching hamstrings will replace the collapse of the disc.
What are some good excercises to do at the gym that will help ease my low back pain?
I have an almost constant low back pain that I think have incurred from doing some ab workouts the wrong way. I am a pretty active young male who goes to the gym often. Is there a few good stretches that I can do to warm up before lifting weights that will help me get rid of this pain?
