Pro  5169    Burbs |  Subject: Lower back painIdeas to help with nasty lower back pain? I've seen my chiropractor and have another couple of appointments set up, but I need some immediate relief. I can take Tylenol, but (1) that doesn't help a lot, and (2) I don't want to take a ton. Ideas for stretches? Should I use ice/ heat? |

Ideas for stretches? Should I use ice/ heat? depends on why you are getting the pain and exactly where it is coming from. I'd recommend first seeing a PT and getting a good eval to see what is going on. I only say this because I have low back pain as well, went to dr, chiro but until I went to my PT, it wasn't getting any better. Now I have a solid plan because I know what the cause of it is and I can manage it pretty well. I would say stretch your hamstrings, hips and piraformis along with working on core strength. Good luck - it is frustrating! |

I was lucky that my chiro also did a bunch of stuff besides manipulation. He did acupuncture, isometric stretches, K-Taping, plus assigning me some exercises. As for immediate relief, ibuprofen (anti-inflammatory) and heat work better than Tylenol (just analgesic for pain) for me. Combining the 2 is also safe and can be helpful. |

Expert 1644 Oklahoma | Subject: RE: Lower back pain Ice works much better than heat for lower back pain for me. Usually ice and anti-inflammatory and I'm back to normal in a couple of days. |

Pro 5169 Burbs | Subject: RE: Lower back pain Thanks for the input! I'm pregnant, so I can only take Tylenol .... and I'm pretty sure that the back pain is coming from the extra 23 lbs . I know it's temporary but I'm still running and I'd like some relief. I'll try ice ! |

| Member 1487 Scottsdale, AZ | Subject: RE: Lower back pain Well that kinda explains it  ! Core work you can do while you are pregnant: planks, side planks, but don't overdo it. Can you get to a massage? That helped me a LOT during my 2 pregnancies, that and the chiropractor. Congrats and hope you find some relief! |
