How Women Can Ease Back Pain
I think that we all are going to have back pain. So what you should probably do is manage it at home at first. You should probably use ice for the first 24 or maybe 48 hours, you can apply ice locally that will reduce the inflammation. It’ll reduce the pain that’s an anesthetic.
You can take some over the counter medication. So an anti-inflammatory medication unless you have a reason that you are not allowed like you have an ulcer or Tylenol which is a pain killer, an Analgesic. You should probably take it easy but don’t get into that.
There was an interesting study that looked at people that stayed in a bed for week versus people that took it easy for three days, and staying in bed for week cause other problems with constipation and reduced breathing. So we definitely recommend that you take it easy but that you’re up and around, so maybe you don’t go to work for a couple of days or maybe if someone else help with the children for a couple of days but you get in and out of the bed, you go to the bathroom, they come to the table.
Some people would feel uncomfortable in sitting for a long time. So I always tell patients to go to the position that they feel more comfortable in. So if you have a kind of back pain that makes you hurt when you stand up straight or extend your back, will spend more time sitting. If you have the kind of back pain that cause you to have troubles when you’re sitting, then stand up and spend more time maybe laying down or laying on your belly, things like that.
