Lower back pain

Hi anyone got an ideas how to ease lower back pain? I tore ligaments some years ago & just before xmas I put it out again!! its like a burning pain across my lower back & for all the world its like hitting a nerve when I turn in advance any help

if you have a spa that helps heaps heat pack for 20 min then cold for 20 and some good strong meds hope you feel better soon xx

i was told ice for up to 20 minutes every couple of hours and walk around for ten minutes every hour
hope this helps

Thanks Ladies, Ive been putting heat on it but havent tried ice. Happy New Year & more so healthy one x

my osteopath definitely says no heat but ice, hope it helps you

Diane Thank you SO much first bit of ease I have had in days - ice from here on in

pleased it was of help, in suffering again at moment so feel your pain!

Yes putting heat on the affected area will cause it to become more inflamed
