Strain: If you can point to an episode where you hurt your back, then strained muscles occurred most likely. The discomfort can be worsened with deep breathing and other movements. Rest, heat applications and antiinflammatory medications(if you can take them) along with liniments are the main treatments. Cold applications are used for the first 24 to 48 hours. If symptoms are worsening, go to the er or md.
