In : In general it is very common for people to have back pain. It may be from fatigue, overuse, or minor injury. The best things to do, include: rest, local heat (heating pad), anti-inflammatory agents such as ibuprofen, and stretching. Once the back pain has decreased you might begin strengthening your back and abdominal muscles with core exercises. Best wishes.
