Woke up this morning feeling fine. Then, after starting my usual morning routine of washing my hair, my lower right back was killing me. I can press on the exact spot that hurts. Should I go with ice or heat?
 
I believe one should use ice first as it reduces swelling, for the first 1 or 2 days after an injury. Then one should use heat.
 
I appreciate the quick response. I have an ice pack on my back as we speak. I always forget how much back ache, tooth ache and ear ache hurts until I get it!!!
 
Hey Pamm,
Don't leave it on any longer then about 15 minutes and then off for about 45 minutes. You sure don't need frostbite on top of the pain! ;) Feel better dear!
