a pulled muscle in my back? I am in so much pain! Is it ice first then heat, or vice versa? How do you know that isn't what got me in this situation to begin with? Oh I didn't SAY that is what happened. I just asked ...oh nevermind, I hurt too bad I'm confusing myself! |

Your kids are probably grown but if you can get a little kid or someone not too heavy to walk on your back.... Do it with your arms at your sides and relaxed. Start at the shoulder blades and work around them and on them and then right down the spine gently. You will be able to feel the muscles loosen up, maybe even some popping noises. And adult can do it for you but they tend to put on too much pressure. |

If you do it for more than 20 minutes at a time, you will get a rebound affect. And it will be worse. After a day or two, you can do 20 minutes of ice and then 20 minutes of heat. When it gets better, you can go to heat only for 20 minutes. but...again only 20 minutes or get the rebound affect. Also, Motrin and muscle relaxer if you have them. REST. If not better in a couple of days - call a Dr. Hope you feel better soon. |

Try to find some arnica, Auburngirl. It dispels swelling - which is usually what causes pain, and it's natural. You can use it for any bump or bruise or swelling, actually. See if it works for you. <<< has chronic back problems. |

Well I'm backkkkkk and I took some Codeine!

A gentle massage could loosen up the muscles and help them heal better.
I'm honestly not trying to be suggestive, I mean medically. |

Yes it probably would. Somebody suggested earlier I have a small child walk on it. Wonder if they have a ph# to rent a kid?!

I hurt my back once, and my physical therapist used a tens and a heating pad. I have a portable one at home and I do the same when it acts up. Just be careful not to fall asleep with it on like that lol |
