Lower back pain

I fell asleep in an awkward position on the train on Friday and my back has been aching all weekend. Can anyone recommend what to do for lower back pain? The pain right around the tailbone? I feel like an old lady. I have to get up in a two or three step process

Heating pad is good for lower back or muscle pain.

Re: Lower back pain

I know of an excellent chiropractor if you are interested. I have been going to him for 3 years....ever since my car accident in 2000. I was rear ended and I went under a toyota corolla. I have a herniated disc in my neck, 2 in my back, sciatica, whiplash, and tmj. After going to him...I alwys feel so much better...If you are interested, fm me and I will give you his phone number and name.

Re: Lower back pain

I get a lot of lower back pain b/c I have a mild curve in my bach from scoliosis...and I know exactly that tailbone pain

if its the bones that are out of place - try stretching upwards...also try taking one upper arm in the other hand and pulling it towards your body and turning...you can also do this with your knees (bend one knee while sitting on the floor and use it totwist your body)

if its a muscle pain...try some ben gay or icy hot...or soemthing like that...there are some one time use heating pads also if you are on the go...
