How do I get rid of upper back pain?

How do I get rid of my lower back pain?

  • Alrite so.... I'm 16 years old and when I was 14, I worked at a factory and only weight 70lbs. i was picking up about 50lbs buckets the wrong way (bending back instead of bending knees) and I would do about 25 of them per day for 2 entire months every day. Now I can feel the pain and I work at McDonalds. As I work, I can feel that my back is paining and my back feels good only when I'm sitting. It feels like there are pins poking into my lower spine (where it means my tailbone). so it is at the joint of my lower spine and my tail bone. Can someone please advise me how I can rid of this pain? Any exercises or any other tips would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

  • Answer:

    I would recommend stretching. Like lying on your back, bringing your knee to your chest, hold it and then bring it over to the opposite side. I know that always feels good for me. Also if you are in pain I would try some anti-inflammatories. (check with a doc first to be sure) I find alleve works pretty good and is gentle on the stomach. If you don't want to take anything I would ice it down. 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off. Do this a couple times a day. The next thing I would suggest is to try to strengthen it. Especially your core muscles. This will help prevent further injuries. Hope this helps.

Any exercise you do while you are in this condition will make it worse for you. You have described pinched muscles which would have been easy to have gotten doing what you were doing back then. Until you get those muscles released you are going to continue being in pain. Here is how to release those muscles: Back: (do from a sitting position) Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and find the muscles next to your spine and press on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but remain there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.
