Make Back Pain Go Away

Alex Genadinik asked:




Back pain is terrible and debilitating to anyone who has experienced more than just mild back pain episodes. I was unfortunate to go through a year of very bad back pain and I want to share a number of things I tried to help me get better. None of these techniques would have probably worked on their own, but collectively, I am experiencing first hand that they have helped me get better.

The most important long-term thing that helps people, is strengthening their core. The core is the muscles of the stomach and the lower, mid and upper back. It is important to isolate these muscle groups and strengthen them so that they allow more cushion for the vertebrae of the back bone and not pinch any nerves going down the spice, which would create pain.

Another important technique to try is to improve and maintain proper sitting, walking and sleeping posture. Also, not only is it important to improve your posture, but it is also very helpful to not stay in any body position for too long because that “freezes” up the bones and muscles. One generally helpful technique to try is to always keep in mind to raise body posture in order to extend the back bone and enable some space between the vertebrae. That way the nerves going down the spine won’t get pinched and won’t cause pain.

Another helpful thing is to stop impact activities like running or intense sports. Running puts a lot of pounding and stress on the back bone, and intense sports involve a lot of sudden jerking and twisting, which is not always good for body mechanics or the back.

How Pain Relievers Work

Megan asked:




We’ve all popped a few aspirins or Tylenols in our day, but do we really know what happens when we take an Advil pain reliever? Are we just taking them so we feel like we’re doing something good for what ails us?

The most common pain relievers are ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and aspirin. Clearly pain relievers don’t just rush to the site of the pain and repair things, so what are they doing?

Pain relievers work in the cells and nerve endings. Basically, they fool your brain and nervous system into thinking the pain is gone, or at least into ignoring some of it. When you are injured, your cells release a chemical called prostaglandin. Your nerve endings are respond to this chemical and tell your brain that something is wrong – which is good, because it keeps you from walking on your broken leg or from going out in the cold with an ear infection (not to mention the times when it stops you from continuing something damaging, like putting your hand on something hot. On the other hand, it hurts!

That’s where pain relievers come in. Ibuprofen stops your cells from producing the prostaglandin, which means it takes your brain longer to know about the throbbing pain. For more intense pain relievers like the anesthesia, the method is slightly different. The medicine blocks nerve cells from each so that they can’t communicate with each other and the brain just doesn’t get the pain message. (This is good, because the doctor might slip if you jumped and yelled every time he made an incision or put pins in your bones.)
