My lower back went out again. Typically, once every 9 months, I get a terrible spasm that can last for days. Right now, I am icing it but I am so sore! I shoveled some heavy snow, but it was only 3 or 4 inches on Sunday and then on Monday played tennis and at the end of the play, I felt it give.
any suggestions for some pain relief??

Fish and chips washed down with a good merlot.and pain killers.massage??
I had alcohol last night and that dulled the pain somewhat but it is worse now. I found a muscle relaxer and just took one.
Ibuprofen, does miracles for me when I have problems with my lower back. And I used to lie down, but recently I've learned it's best to keep moving and walking. Just no lifting things and not bending too often. Take your time to get your muscle back in 'relaxed mode' again.
Thinking of you Min ! I had back trouble as a much younger man, and I still have to be careful, I mustn't do too many of the heavy jobs Mrs Phizzy would like to see me doing ! LOL
I was lucky, I found a good Osteopath who specialised in Sports injuries, which was serendipitous as my injury was caused by the sport of seeing who could drink the most Ale !
Hope it gets better soon.
Ibuprofin works great on me but does little to decrease this pain.
Phiz, maybe I need booze, too.
A good osteopath is what I would go to
