I hurt my back lifting a heavy object, what can i do to cure my lower back pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rest heat OTC meds: Generally most just get better with activity restriction and rest but one can apply heat or cold depending what feels best and take over the counter pills like tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil if no stomach or allergy problems. If it does not improve over a week or two, see your doctor for evaluation and treatment recommendations.
