Back Pain...boooooo

So for the past few days I have had some lower back pain. I think this actually started a week or so ago but has been off and on. I can't tell you when I have ever had any back pain for more then a day. Usually it was due to working hard the day before or something but this is different. I have been on the couch with a heating pad tonight to try and alleviate some of the pain. I am worried that if I go to the doctor they will just tell me to take some pain meds or something. I have put on a few pounds since my wife got pregnant which I know is normal but I don't really think that is the cause. Perhaps when you turn 30 everything does start to fall apart.

My brother had lower back pain till he got his chair and desk adjusted to maintain a non-slouching posture. At home, I purposely work sitting straight on the floor so that I am not tempted to slouch.

At first I though he was nuts, I couldn't imagine actually putting ice on my back, but I find it makes a huge difference. I usually do 20/25 min. on 40/45 min. off. I bought a great flexible ice/heat pack at CVS that's about 8" x 6" - cost about $10. It really helps calm the muscle spasms. I have recommended my Dr. (Gerard Werder) to many - he's a really good guy and does a great job. He's located on W. Utica near Elmwood.

I still do but not like I did when I used to do ten hour days four days a week straight. I used to be in so much pain on my days off. Haven't really had trouble since, but I'm sure I still do a lot of things wrong such as slouch and not have proper alignment at computer desk. Hope you figure it out.

Turned out to be the way I was sitting as after I adjusted my work station to make me not look down, it got better. That and lifting at the gym helped a ton too. Good luck. I you do decide to try chiropractic, I liked Patrick Oneil on Bidwell.
