I use my heating pad a lot. ;all day when i study on full heat but now my back is sore and really hurts!! what should i do?

What is the cause?: We first need to know what is causing you back pain. Have you tried to take an analgesic or antiinflammatory over the counter? I would recommend using the heating pad for no more than 20 minutes 2-3 times a day.
