A member asked:

I was having really bad back pain that got worse with every breath and the more i panicked the worse it hurt. what can i do to treat this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Conservatively: Most back pain resolves without a lot of fancy treatment other than gentle stretching, moist heat, meds like ibuprofen. Bed rest is now considered non-helpful.
