    Too late. At least Costco-branded Tylenol is cheap

    You don't want back issues when young either - I had a discectomy when I was 20. Haven't been able to touch my toes since 1984.

    Thankfully just lower back spasm issues. Going on for a week though. Ouchy.

    I already have the bad knees and ribs that like to sublux and grind my ligaments. The back is only a matter of time...

    Add me to bad back (since my twenties). I cant lay down or stand up without some struggle and mild pain.

    It's not just an age issue. Take good care of your body, meaning sleeping on a good bed & pillow, sitting on a proper work chair, and exercise (walking is good). And get up to stretch every so often.

    Yeah... my wife gets it. Always in pain.

    I'm a few years older, but ok so far.

    @joch I do half those things. But mostly I messed it up by lifting my 7 year old with my back instead of my legs.

    Heal well & quickly. Don't take it for granted either once it heals. Limber & strengthen if you can.

    Some things that might help: TENS machine with the large pads, menthol patches (Walmart's are very strong; I like the weak Salonpas ones), lidocaine patches. Hope you feel better.

    I feel your pain @Azimuth I'm having issues with my lower back, hip and leg on my right side. Goes slightly painful where I can get by on some ibuprofen and muscle relaxers, to the worse pain I've ever felt in my life and can't even get around. Had x-rays looked normal. Next step Friday MRI with orthopaedist. Hopefully nothing bad or long term.

    That is not goo @HotRatSalad. But I take it that they would be able to tell a bulging disc on an X-Ray. I hope you get some relief soon. For me, I am finally back to 90-95%. Still just the littest bit of pain down low, but nothing serious. I have finally put away the heating pads for now thankfully.
