A member asked:

My fianc has lower back pains past 4 days. he's been stressed out and we are moving next saturday. how can i get his back to heal.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Back pains: For back strains and back pains, here's my regimen: i'm not in bed or on the couch all day, but no heavy lifting, bending over or vigorous exercise. I take 400mg Ibuprofen w/ food 3x/day, warm compresses over lower back in the evening, and that's it. If there are fevers, leg numbness/weakness or incontinence... That's a sign for concern and should be seen by doc asap. Best of luck!
