Most acute attacks clear up spontaneously within 2 or 3 days. There are various things you can do to help prevent back pain, or relieve symptoms if you already suffer. If you're overweight, the excess pounds will be putting unnecessary stress on your joints and muscles. By losing weight you could well find that you reduce your discomfort.
