A low back pain problem can create a cycle in which a muscle spasm causes pain, and the pain brings additional muscle spasm. Rest and pain killers can help interrupt this cycle. Anti-inflammatory medications should be continued as long as there is significant pain. To avoid an upset stomach , take the medication with food unless otherwise instructed. No medication will speed up the healing.
Drugs can only help eliminate the symptoms.
Sometimes heat or ice applied to the affected area may provide some relief. An injury must heal by itself. Try to avoid reinjury during the healing process. Rest flat on the back for the first 24 hours and be very careful when moving around. Severe muscle-spasm pain usually lasts for 2 to 3 days and may be followed by weeks of less severe pain.
