Acute Back Pain Tips
Posted by admin in Prescription Pain Killers on July 18th, 2010
Anyone who is active will probably experience acute back pain sometime in their life. This is usually caused from muscle strains or ligament strains.
It is something you may immediately notice. For example if you lift weights your back pain may become severe right while you’re lifting.
If you are not normally an active person and all of a sudden you’re doing strenuous activity you may strain a muscle or strain a ligament. This could get gradually worse over a period of hours to the point that you are now in acute pain.
Acute back pain can be treated however it may be several weeks before you are back to doing the activities you are currently doing.
Other ways acute back pain are brought on include sports injuries, poor posture, bending forward for too long a period of time, holding a cell phone in your ear while you’re doing other things around the house, carrying something heavy such as a backpack or purse, and accidents.
The old adage that bed rest is best is not really true when dealing with acute back pain. You are better off to go about your normal routine with the exception of what caused back pain to begin with.
You certainly can take it slower and possibly lying down will feel better. Hot baths and cold comfort compresses can help, starting with cold first in an ice pack. Ice several times a day for up to 20 minutes helps slow any inflammation and swelling.
Taking a hot bath can also help relieve the pain and inflamed muscles. Ibuprofen may help the pain go away as well. If you are not better after 72 hours then it is probably time to go see your doctor!
