My next husband will have to be a chiropractor.... just kidding...
|
Ice, ice, ice. On for 15 off for 15 for one hour. It will help reduce the inflamation and pain.
|
Thanks for the advise, I will give it a try.
I have been using the thermacare heat pads which help a lot. And taking ibprofen too. I have a back stretcher/ relaxer thing, I'll try that too. 30 years ago my son broke my 3rd vertabre when I gave birth to him. I have had arthritis ever since. :( |
My husband has degenerating disks in his back and also tried medication. Now he's medication free because he gets a deep tissue massage once a month followed up by a chiroprator visit. And the massage makes you feel great all over...all aches and pains and stress worked out!

ICE IT! I am a veteran of such episodes and always applied heat. Finally in my 50's I learned from a young lawyer in my office whose wife was a physical trainer and whose dad in Italy was a professional soccer coach, that initially, heat just adds to inflamation. After a couple of days applying ice for abut 20 minutes at a time several times a day, then use the heat alternately with the ice. Gradually resume walking. Once you are recovered take up an exercise routine that strengthens you core. If you have a gym nearby employ the aid of a certified trainer who can teach you the moves. I can tell you from my own experience that's the long term secret to avoiding the hassle of such spasms.

That is all it takes. One wrong move and your out for a week or so . Prayers from my home to yours.
