Pulled back muscle remedies

I just aggravated a back muscle this morning and it's killing me! Anything other than ice, little to no movement, and Motrin to help me out?

Sad

  • Oh no!! Just when it was feeling better : (

    No advice for rememdies. A huge *gentle* hug for you though.

  • So sorry!!!

    I have found that heat actually makes my back feel better, do you have a heating pad?

    Maybe one of the boys can give you a back massage  :-)

  • No advice, just a hug. :(

    Yea I tried to get Sean to rub it a bit and his touch a little too gentle. Ended up tickling me more than anything. Wink

    I have the heating pad out and ready, too.

    So effing pissed at myself.

    Yeah, I can never remember which you're *supposed* to use, but all I know is heat seems to help me with muscle issues the most. I'm sorry, back strains are awful!

  • Hot shower?  Heat pad?  Hope you feel better soon!
  • Heat and ice usually helps me.  I also use a baseball and wedge it between the sore spot and a chair or the ground and gently roll on it to "massage" away the tightness.  Back pain sucks, I hope you feel better!

  • Best trip my massage therapist every taught me, heat to relax the muscle and then ice to "freeze" the muscle in the relaxed position.  I was so skeptical but it works wonders.
