My wife's "back went out" ... here's what she's doing

When people say back pain affects everyone, that really is the truth!

Not only did I struggle with middle back pain (and a bunch of other ailments like shoulder problems, knee pain, tendonitis) years ago before becoming an "expert" ...

but my wife has also had several bouts of back pain over the years brought on initially due to a c-section birth. Well, a few days ago she had a flare up... no significant physical incident to bring it on like sneezing or picking up a heavy item, etc...

Instead, I feel that it was a combination of stress/worry about several current life situations that she/we are dealing with right now as well as some physical factors such as changes to her exercise program... she recently added running back into her program.

Anyway, not to bore you with her story, but I thought you might really benefit from the suggestions I gave her and the actions she has taken...

So, the first thing she did was rub in a few squirts of Rub on Relief ... she has been applying it 2-3 times per day.

Then she jumped (not really, more like crawled) into our bed with both our large and medium size Far Infrared Heating Pads ... and she has been lying on these just about every chance she gets (which isn't much with 6 kids still at home, though I of course have stepped up to do as much as I can).

She has also been taking hot jacuzzi baths with sea salts (with magnesium) once a day... taking Heal-n-Soothe 1-2 times per day (3 capsules at a time though I'm trying to get her to up the dose - I take 6-8 at a time) to reduce the inflammation and pain.

In addition she is drinking a lot of water... increased her magnesium and vitamin D intakes (liquid supplements)... and also experimenting with various homeopathic and herbal muscle relaxants like kali carb, chamomile, valerian and others.

And last, since it seems that one of the biggest underlying causes is stress, worry, negative energy, etc, she is also spending as much time as possible relaxing... reading... laughing.

As you likely know, there are of course many other things that can be done, but this is where she's starting and this is likely all she'll need as she's getting close to "back to normal".

Anyway, I hope you found this informative and maybe it has given you a few things that you have not yet tried. I'll be sure to keep you posted on how she's feeling :)
