Back Care Guide

Nic C asked:


Can implantation cause back pain and how early can you experience it?
Can anyone tell me if implantation can cause back pain?

For the last 3 days I have been experiencing chest pain and upper back pain. At times it also has been radiating under my arms. Part of the time it is very dull, and others it is stabbing. And then there are times where I have not pain at all.
I’m 22. I have had a cold recently. A little cough, but that has gotten better over the last few days.
Any suggestions or answers would be greatly appreciated.

This morning I woke up with a sharp pain in my lower back. I’m not sure where it came from but I work at Target in the backroom so I’m guessing it could be from heavy lifting, or sleeping wrong. Anyone know any quick relief techniques? I have to mow the lawn today and go to work later.

I’m only 18 too.

I get severe muscular neck and shoulder pain along with muscle spasms in my lower back. It’s not an everyday thing, just every few days I will be really stiff. I was taking Mobic for inflammation for my knees, but my doctor gave me the OK to stop taking that about 5 months ago. I wanted to know if there is any treatment options besides taking a daily medication or going to the chiropractor. Thanks!

Vash asked:


About a year ago, my lower left back began hurting. I discovered that it was a pulled muscle by twisting rapidly during sports practice. I rested it for a while, and started exercising it to strengthen it. Now, 3 weeks ago, my right lower back began to hurt. I’ve used hot/cold treatments, and I take advil/motrin. (By the way, which is better?) I’ve stretched it and rested it for a while, but the pain and tightness still persists. Any ideas?

Im 32 weeks prego with my 2nd baby. With my first I had terrible back labor, starting around 29 weeks. With drugs we were able to hold it off untill 39 weeks. Right now I am having some discomfort in my lower back, it isnt as intense as my first ones back labor, but it is more than a normal sore back… I havent been having any noticeable contractions, but I cant help but feel that this pain is something I shouldnt look away from. I called my doc, and he said not to worry, nothing is happening. It just doesnt seem right. Have any of you gone into any kind of labor without noticing the first contractions, and having this same odd dull back pain? If you think it is nothing to worry about what can I do other than Tylenol to help the pain, I was told heating pads are something that shouldnt be used right now… Is that true? Lying in any positon fails to help the pain. Anything and everything will be a big help.
Hubby cant massage my back, he has MS so he is to weak to massage. (he’s so weak I was suprised we were able to make this baby!) Oh well… any other suggestions?

Jaime L asked:


My husband asks the kids (100 pounds) to walk on his back to relieve his back pain. I believe that he is doing major damage. Any docs out there that can confirm - is this dangerous?

. asked:


I’m 28 weeks pregnant, and have dull achy pain on the right upper abdomen. I pushed down on that area because I thought it might be the foot of my baby, but it doesn’t seem to be. Anyway, it’s constant pain, which just started, and when pressure is applied, a sharp pain radiates directly opposite to my back. Any ideas, as to what it is? Thanks
I already asked this in the pregnancy section, but I also thought someone might know something in this section as well.

mariatechmaniac asked:


I’m thinking to get my first tattoo on the back of my ankle but I’m reading a lot that the pain is unbearable and it’s not the place for your first tattoo. What would you say about that? Will the pain be the same at the side of the ankle?
