Could Having A Massage Relieve Throbbing Pain In Lower Back With History Of Having Back Problems?

I have a history of low back problems, but I have not thrown out my back for almost a year. Right now I have throbbing pain in the low back. It hurts to sit, stand or lie down except in certain positions. It also feels like I might throw up. I was thinking of going for a massage... is there anything else I can do?

Hello,

I had gone through the case and found that you must go for MRI of back to find any other complication like slip disc or herniation .

So after getting the correct diagnosis take treatment.

Meanwhile take mild painkiller and apply muscle relaxant gel for local application.

Hope my answer will be effective for you.

Thanks
