The local shop is out of paracetimol and my lower back really hurts! what is a good alternative?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varied measures: If you have known chronic mechanical back pain then you can use topical applications of heat for spasm and ice for pain. In lieu of the Acetaminophen you could use advil (ibuprofen) if you can tolerate anti-inflammatory medications.
