Any advice on what to do with lower back pain? I strained my back while doing strength workout and have been coping with lower back pain for 5 days now. Going crazy here with muscle spasms and not being able to move around comfortably. Have taken Aleve, done heat pad, ice pack, rested, stretched, quiropractor but pain is still there. I have a small race in 13 days and already missed last week and it looks like I will be out thks week too. Please advice ideas help!
