My lower back is killing me?

Question:

I've tried laying on my back for an hour, and sitting up straight in my computer chair, but it's only getting worse. I had it last night too, around 1 AM and I slept on my back and it disappeared though the day, but now it's back again at around the same time, little earlier. What can I do to ease the pain, will it get better tomorrow if I sleep on my back, will it get worse again? Should i just let it take it's natural course?

thank you!

Answers:
It seems to be a case of simple cramp. Rub feldene iontment onto the effected area.

Go to the chiropractor now. If you don't believe in that, go get a lower back x-ray and make sure a disc isn't out of alignment. Any little movement can sometimes do this.

Try massage therapy, chiropractic treatments, better nutrition, Herbal CA (calcium), Trace Minerals, and a good colon cleansing program as well as supplements for strengthening the kidneys. If it is the sciatic nerve, use potassium. A better mattress/pillow set-up might help but not if that isn't the problem to begin with.
Lower back pain can signal that something serious is wrong with your health so if there's not improvement soon after trying some of these tried and proven suggestions above, definitely see a doctor and do not let it take it's natural course.

You should ware a back support strip! Put some Ice &Hot on your back! See a doctor if it gets worst or last longer! Relax and take it easy! Until you feel better. Take a day off work or becarefull to use your back!Get a plastic bottle of frozen water and lean your back against the wall. Put the Frozen plastic bottle of water behind your lower back and move up and down to message the lower back .Also Lean forward and backward. Hope this helps you and take care of yourself!

If your a hardcore athlete like myself, you could have stress fractured your lumbar spine (lower back). So Make sure you get alot of rest like 2 weeks. Ice it. Biofreeze it. And wrap it. Also do some stretching like toe touches and back bends.

I injured my back bad many years ago, were talking bone removed operation injury, ouch ;) if it doesn't get better go to a pain management doctor, most chiropractors are quacks, and will make you worse so you will keep coming back. I know its hard to move when your hurting but laying down is not always the best thing, try to walk around more. good luck, I'm do for a stimulator to be put in my back, there really cool, you even get a remote and a battery charger, but make sure if you ever decide on a implant you have good insurance, as they cost more than most cars. one thing i want to add, even though we hate it ice is better than heat?
