Need suggestions

[cse2k]

hi, I'm 21 this year and I had a back problem for the last month, and its getting worst day by day. Everytime I bend over by back will hurt, it feels something like the muscle or the spine is pulling, does anyone know how to cure this without seeing a doctor? because I'm in oversea and doctor seems kind of expensive.

Have you had any falls recently? Lifted anything very heavy, or done some kind of activity which would cause back strain? It just isn't possible to offer a cure and wouldn't be possible even if we had more information. I would suggest using a heating pad for 20 minutes, then off for 20, then back on. You could also try hot soaks in the tub. Some people get better relief with ice packs, so you could try that as well. Avoid any strenuous activity, bending, twisting, or lifting. If you don't find any improvement in a few days, then you should see a general practitioner.

Good luck.
