Sounds like you may need to go see a doctor or a chiropractor. Also try removing some inflammation inducing foods from your diet. You are what you eat. Good luck. Hope you get well soon
I personally use pain relief medication to get the exercises I need to help support my back as in the long run the exercises will help with the pain. I don’t take the pain medication on a regular basis just long enough to get me through difficult periods so I can continue with the exercises. A stitch in time saves nine as they say.
Check for the Y’s way to a healthy back. It may not still be available but you might be able to find it online. It is a slow progressive program to strengthen your back. Before you start anything, check with your physician to be certain there is not a medical condition.
If your back is severely sore, see a doctor. If it is slightly sore, you may consider a chiropractor before a massage therapist. And if you’re on a budget, you can roll up a towel and lay on it with the towel at the place of soreness. Lay there for at least 30 seconds. Make sure you ice the area too. Another great remedy for muscle soreness is a bath with epsom salt. It does wonders!
This is a hard one ideas if you’ve got a bath and you can have a warm bath if you’ve got the internet relaxation muscle relaxation techniques like mind letting the body relax mindfulness being aware of the pain softening soothing yourself compassion for yourself and allowing it to be as it is depends what’s causing it do you need a Doctor or psychologist or physical assistance stress relief.
There is other options available like a foam roller that Athletes use. I find that personally it helps me to stretch and ease tension. However if your pain continues you should definitely consider going to a chiropractor or a doctor. Massages might not always work as it might not be tight muscles that are giving you a problem, nerve damage or a pulled muscle might also be possible and massaging it without a correct diagnosis might actually worsen the problem.
You need to see a doctor for that. It might be nothing serious now, but can turn into something serious if you don’t do anything for it. See a doctor. If the pain is bad, massage can be bad for it. Ask your doctor first. :)
A foam roller works well for me. There are many sizes and levels of firmness available. I bought mine at Target and have seen them around at many other stores.
I’m not sure what to do in your situation, but when I feel pain I find that doing yoga really helps. My favourite online yoga routines come from a website called doyogawithme.com
Sounds like you need to go to your GP. Plus take a nice hot bath. Continue to do gentle stretches - building them up slowly, very slowly.
