Lower Back Pain relief after hanging upside down?

We Answered:

Hanging upside down only relieves the pain for a short while as it opens up the disks inbetween the spinal coloums. I have a fractured disk in my lower and tried the hanging upside down but the pain always came back after lifting objects or sitting to long.

I have been going to pilates now for a while and after a month of it i hardly get any pain at all. I made sure to tell my pilates trainer about my condition so she knew what exercises to do and not do. Even the pilates breathing can help with the pain immediately. So you can maybe try that as well as stretching.

Has anyone within 'earshot' had any sort of lower back pain relief with an inversion table?

We Answered:

Jennifer, it is a legitimate way to treat a lower back problem. Remember to take it slowly into a full inversion position. By that I mean it should be done incrementally not a full drop into inversion. It will take days to achieve a full position. There are some exercises that you can try to stop the pain before investing in an inversion table. They might sound silly but they work and the only thing that you will need is a straight chair such as a kitchen chair. Sit in the chair and raise the left arm up as high as you can and then do the same with the right arm. One arm will go up higher than the other and you will start with that arm. Raise that arm up as high and hard as you can for thirty seconds and then rest for fifteen seconds. Repeat that twice more and then do the opposite side. Do all three cycles of the movement using the thirty seconds as hard as you can and then the fifteen second rest period. Next turn the head to the left as hard as you can and then turn to the right. One side will turn further so start with that side. Turn towards that side for thirty seconds as hard as you can and then rest for fifteen seconds. Repeat that twice more and then do the same three cycles on the opposite side. Get up and move around and the back should feel freer and in less pain. Return to the chair and make sure that your feet are planted flat on the floor and don't shift. Twist to the left as far as you can go and then go to the right. One side is going to turn further so start in that direction. Twist in that direction for thirty seconds as hard as you can and then rest for fifteen seconds. Repeat that routine twice more and then go to the other side and do the entire routine three times. Get up and walk around and the back should feel better and freer. Lastly return to the chair and do this movement. Bring the Left knee up to the Right shouder and then bring the Right knee up to the Left shoulder. One movement should be freer so start with that side. Bring the one knee up to the opposite shoulder as hard as you can for thirty seconds and then rest for fifteen seconds. Repeat that twice more and then go to the other side and do three cycles of the movements. Now get up and move around. The back at this stage should feel somewhat better. Do this entire routine at least once a day and if possible twice.

Over the counter pain relief medicine specific for back pain?

We Answered:

It isn't really relief for it only blocks the pain messages to the brain. The pains are still happening and can be doing more damage in your back. If you suffer from back pain you want to free up the pinched muscles causing the pain by doing this:
Back:
(do from a sitting position)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.

Is there such thing as narcotic pain patch as in those back pain relief patches and icy hot?

We Answered:

Yes, there is a fentanyl patch. This is a pretty strong opioid pain medication and the patch releases it into your blood stream over the course of a few days.
