I am not sure if it is a muscle strain or not, but in the middle of my back on the left side if I press or massage the muscle along my spin it is painfull. If i bend or twist the wrong way same thing. I do yoga and hopefully that will help. Just wanted so advice on what else could be done to releive the pain?
 
Some people find relief with:

1. Ice Packs
2. Meditation
3. Relaxation Tapes
4. Heat
5. Anti-Inflammatories
6. Bengay/BioFreeze/Icy Hot
7. Therma care wraps
8. Back supports
9. Accupuncture
10. Massage
11. Spa's
12. Walking in a pool - not swimming. The water relieves the pressure.

If the pain persists longer than 2 weeks or becomes severe, I would definitely follow up with your family doctor for a complete work up to make sure all is okay.

Good luck and remeraber that we are here for you if you have any further questions.
