Back pain: This is characteristic of an acute lumbosacral strain if pain is in the low back but one can also strain the midback muscles. Rest, apply cold compresses for 20 minutes 4 times a day for 48 hours and then switch to warm, moist compresses. You can rub in liniment like bengay. If you can, take anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or naproxen. Healing takes 7-10 days. Don't lie in bed all day
