Back pain: Most back pain is muscular, some is from arthritis. Using some ice to dull the pain, heat to relax the muscles may help. Simple over the counter medications may be helpful with the pain, tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen. Taking an prescription strength of ibuprofen, 600-800mg will help many moderate pains, but take with a meal. Narcotics like vicodin are not recommended for long term pain in the back.

Don't start there!: First find the cause of your back pain, then treat the cause.
