Avoid pain patches: Medication patches applied to the skin delivering drugs like local anesthetics often contain latex. If you have a history of anaphylaxis to latex these patches won't trigger anaphylaxis. You will get eczema or contact dermatitis on the skin under the patches. You'll need to stick with oral medications or a tens units. There are latex-free electrodes for a tens unit.

Ice: The two issues are not related. If you have acute back pain, ice it. Do some simples stretching and stay away from latex.
