Dealing with Chronic Back Pain at 80 Years Old

You can also ask about prescribed numbing patches, lidocaine or diclofenac, the latter being more effective and longer lasting. The patches are small but some relief is better than none, I rotate these With the heating pad

Heating pads help with the pain or ibuprofen plus the heating pad

For me hot baths with Epsom salt and drinking enough water has helped to where it is barable also gentle stretches like laying on my back on a bed and slowly pulling my knees towards my chest helps when I've been up all day. Hope this helps some
