Nurofen gel worked for me when I injuried my back in a match. Tablets didn't really work for me but the gel did

If muscular pain, foam roller could help. Hope you get some relief soon

It would be wise to ask your GP.

Most likely your muscles have knotted to prevent further injury. It can be a long process. Walking can help with heat rest and anti inflammatories. In can recover almost spontaneously or become chronic.

Hope you're recovered asap and definitely for the Venue.

Gp and a good physio is definitely the best route. I had trouble with my back for years .. Did it out in the end quite badly. My back is near perfect now which I never thought id get to. Asides from the work I put in to fix it, it turned out a couple of things were really aggravating it quite bad .. I had a good mattress but turned out I needed it changed. I had a habit in the night of rolling onto my stomach .. With that mattress I Sort of was hyper extending my back .. Caused a lot of problems. Id also got into lots of little bad habits lifting and shifting weight around (as in daily general lifting ) .. I would over arch my back .. Pull weight with my shoulder allowing the tendons to take the weight .. A lot of bad stuff like that. I also got into a really bad habit of sitting leaning forward with my legs open (.. steady on now !!) basically like a really bad deep squat. This was completely fucking my back.

Anyways my point is,.. A lot of times it can be little bad habits or environmentally such as your mattress, seating etc .. Totally went over my head until I had a problem so bear it in mind before you go to gp and physio. As my physio said to me .. A lot of times things like these can be the problem and its really important to find out HOW its being aggravated as opposed to just medicating for the pain. My 2 cents .. Hope something in there helps!

Similar story to some of those above I was being medicated for the symptoms rather than dealing with the cause a few visits to a sports pyhiso sorted the problem now it's back to lifting suitable women against a wall lowering them slowly on to awe well u get the picture

I get an ache/pain right across the bottom of my back. Mighten get it for months then back it comes with a vengeance. I had to cave in and go to the docs a couple of weeks ago. He gave me Vimovo - I've a couple saved in case needed at the Venue on Friday . They're bloody brilliant!

What type of pain is it? Is there a particular task that makes it worse.

You could try hanging from something by your hands everyday for a few minutes to try relax the spine and then a nice hot bath and a massage afterwards. I get one of my rugby friends crack my back occasionally and works great.

a yoga ball is great lay across it facing the ceiling and let your spine stretch out.

back pain can be a bitch.

Sorry to hear your suffering with it.

You probably feel worst in the morning. Avoid sleeping on your back and tried lying on your side with your knees tuck up towards your chest. This will help keep your liwer back stretched out as your muscles contract when you sleep. Put a pillow between your k ees for comfort. First thing when you get out of bed spend 10 mins on a bit of yoga back stretches. You'll find them on YouTube. I've done this when my back was at me and it helped. I often do lower back stretches with my clients after long runs. They are really important.

When do you get relief, when you arch your back back or round forward, but as everyone says physio best bet, I,d go physio before chiropractors, just my opinion, suffer back pain myself, not nice

+1 for this .. Your bang on. Helped me a lot .. Particularly lying on my side in bed with knees up and a pillow between them .. Gave great relief from the pressures in my hips etc ..

Arching back kills me, forward relieves the pain

Just an idea. Could be doggy position thats the problem. Can put alot of pressure on lower back. So keep to missionary for a while and follow a yoga regime. Lovely pics btw.

Cramp? You can get cramped muscles along the spine in your lower back & the only way I've found to relieve it is excercise & physically stretching/twisting them out to break the cramp. Good luck.

i find with lower back pain it can be related to tightness of the hamstrings in your legs especially if you have been active prior to onset of pain. youtbe stretches for hamstrings and do a few stretches per day. always gets me out of trouble

Having done it all, MRIs, Physio, Pain Relief etc etc. Have got to say the only relief the Manbeast ever truly gets is after a good session of neck and spine cracking with the Chiropractor.
