V8 Beast Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I threw my back out the other night. After a night of rest I'm able to move but my mobility is limited. Any tricks people with bad backs do to help them recover faster? I'm doing the heat pack and massage thing which is helping some.... anything else I should be doing?

Cordell Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Depending on how you're feeling, the best thing for me is to take it easy a couple days and then just start using it again. Sometimes just getting moving makes the biggest difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I wish I had the time to rest but I have to go to work. Luckily for me all I do is sit on my butt all day. Getting from the truck to my office will be the hard part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starkmaster03 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I carry Advil liquid gels around all the time for my bad back, but according to men's health this month, married men suffer long from back pain because they nurse it and it actually weakens your back and that the best thing to to is to take some pain reliever and tough it out.

No chiropractor fees either. :gtfo: The problem with inversion is it is not specific enough to solve anything long term. Tempoary relief does happen with inversion, but otc meds do the same thing. Teeter hang-ups is a good example of the power of television. I would try to find out what the problem is and then find the right treatment for the problem.

Avenger1647545502 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Punch yourself in the balls as hard as you can. Still notice any back pain? J/K, I've found that sleeping on a flat, hard surface with an electric blanket under me is good for when I wrench up my lower back. Sleep with your back down, and try not to put too much padding under your head. Pop a couple Advil ASAP in the morning, then work as normally as you can.
