“What can I do to relieve back pain from an injury?”

The injury can come from any number of things, it can be a pulled muscle that you got from playing some sport that you haven't in a while and that you properly weren't warmed up for. It can also come from something as silly as a sneeze. You may have fallen down. For whatever reason, if the pain is mild you might be able to handle it without going to a doctor. If you have any doubts or concerns, you should go see a doctor.

Use a cold pack on your back for the first 72 hours. The first day of that time frame, use it for ten minutes every hour. For the next two days, use it 3 times per day. After that, then change to heat.

Make sure that you give your back a chance to rest, especially if it is a muscle pull. Lay on your back, preferably on the floor, with a pillow under your head and with your feet elevated. They can either be slightly elevated with a pillow under your knees or with your feet up in a chair and your legs bent at the knees.

Take ibuprofen as recommended on the label and if the pain persists for longer than 3-4 days, talk to your doctor.
