Not sure what is wrong with your back, but ice always helps mine. I often have back pain since I had scoliosis surgery 15 years ago when the installed metal rods and fused most of my spine.

Hope the pain eases soon.

I'm not sure either! I'll hopefully be getting to a doctor soon to have it looked it...

Ice helps you more than heating pads?

[butterflydezi.livejournal.com]

Yes I was told this is because the ice constricts the vessels and sends a msg to the brain that there is a problem in that area and then sends more blood to the area to try and fix the problem. To get the same results with heat you would require a higher heat than what a heating pad can offer and the heat would end up giving you major burns in order to get the same results as ice.

So ice, definately ice!

Huh! I'll definitely give it a try - thanks. :)

Sure anything to remove pain is a good thing!

I had a medium bad muscle spasm in my neck recently and I tried some icyhot creme and was very surprised at how well it worked.
