i have muscle spasm, bit swelling and pain on my back (left side). sometimes it radiates to under arm on same side. i am using voltarin emulgel and chlorzoxazone (250 mg). would cold compress be helpful or warm compress in this case?

Accepted Answer

: Low back pain is mostly caused by injury to a muscle (strain) or ligament (sprain). Common causes include improper lifting, poor posture, lack of regular exercise, trauma.

Continue the muscle relaxant.
