A member asked:
The right side of my back is in pain, it's not sharp but it's dull. i was sitting down for a while and it only aches on deep inhale, is it strain?

Back pain: It can be a strain especially if your history suggests of it. Prolonged sitting normally doesn't cause strains. I would put local heat (heating pad on low) or use a topical rub such as bengay or icyhot. Gentle massage may help as well. Over-the-counter Acetaminophen or ibuprofen, unless contraindicated, may be tried with success.
