What pain treatment methods work best for you? Went to the ER today because I’d been having chronic back pain for about a month. It just has been worsening to the point where today I couldn’t stand the pain any longer and went in for an X-Ray. They said that my spine has an S curve and that my back muscles are strained from overuse and compensating for the misaligned spine. I’m experiencing the pain on all parts of my back, neck, and shoulders. It’s spreading to the back of my head where it meets my neck, as well as my hips. I’ve been taking ibuprofen today and that’s helped lessen the pain a little bit, but I am still in a lot of pain. I am also confused because my chiropractor told me that I should only ice my back and that heat will cause inflammation, however the nurse at the ER told me I should heat it.
