My back had once completely seized up and i decided to go to hot yoga. It helped quite a bit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-back-pain#post-1572643 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 12:45:19 +0000 Freckles 1572643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's inflamed, i'd do ice instead of heat. You can alternate between ice and heat if you'd like.</p> <p>Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-back-pain#post-1572641 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 12:44:52 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1572641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: this will sound counter productive, but yoga. I found a video on demand. It's like 8 mins long and does the sun salutations and girl, I am telling you, that ish made my back feel fabulous. </p> <p>I followed up by alternating heat and ice &amp; was as good as new the next day. Yoga alone works wonders, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-back-pain#post-1572634 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 12:42:33 +0000 mrsjyw 1572634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: I'm using one right now!! </p> <p>Thanks all! Heat pad and bellybandit on top. helping a ton! We're out of MOTRIN! Ugh!</p> <p>@yoursilverlining: thankfully I am wfh! I couldn't imagine sitting at me desk for 8+ hours with this pain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-back-pain#post-1572631 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 12:41:25 +0000 meredithNYC 1572631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my microwavable heating pad for back aches. However, lower back pain has become more of a persistent thing for me, so I recently got a foam roller. I've only been using it for about a week so far, but I have noticed a difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-back-pain#post-1572613 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 12:37:14 +0000 MaryM 1572613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a love affair with thermacare heat wraps</p> <p>I only wish they made one I could wrap my entire body in sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-back-pain#post-1572611 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 12:37:03 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1572611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use my heating pad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-back-pain#post-1572599 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 12:34:01 +0000 blackbird 1572599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>advil and ice for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-back-pain#post-1572293 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 11:00:35 +0000 LAZB 1572293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have lots of lower back problems, so I'm always dealing with or trying to prevent back pain. If it's just a one time thing, I agree with PPs, take an anti-inflammatory and use a heating pad. If it persists, try walking around a little more, especially if you sit a lot. Whenever you bend over, try to remember to tighten your core first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-back-pain#post-1572196 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 10:43:48 +0000 Mamaof2 1572196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ditto others - Heat and Motrin! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-back-pain#post-1572191 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 10:41:33 +0000 littlebug 1572191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely try a heating pad. And an anti-inflammatory. Motrin is best, but I can't take Motrin so Aleve works for me. Feel better! Back pain is the pits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-back-pain#post-1572157 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 10:33:47 +0000 yoursilverlining 1572157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're WFH today, I'd lay down on top of a heating pad, with the heat right where it hurts. Or take a long shower and let the water hit your back where it hurts - those help me when I have back pain.</p> <p>Also try slowly stretching a bunch; that seems to help me too. Otherwise, Motrin is pretty good. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-back-pain#post-1572132 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 10:25:31 +0000 mrsjyw 1572132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea where it came from, but when I got into bed last night, my lower back was hurting to the point where it kept me up for an hour+.... aching, tender, etc. </p> <p>It woke me up in the MOTN too ACK! :bummed: </p> <p>I'm wearing an old pp belly bandit, and that seems to be helping, but OMG how do I make this pain go away? </p>
