Gosh my back hurts.

So I went to the doctor the other day and he put me on 3 drugs to try and help.

- an anti-inflammatory prescription strength Ibuprofen was what he called it.
- painkiller called Vicodin (I can not understand how people get addicted to this I can't stand the way my head feels on this).
- A drug to stop the back spasms called Lorazepam.

Heat packs and tiger balm help a little for short periods but not much.

It doesn't seem to be working to stop the pain as well as I would have thought and I am not sleeping very well.

It looks like I am going back to the doctor because this is getting really old.

If anyone has any suggestions about how to help my back preferably without drugs that would be great because I can't drive when taking the drugs because the screw with my reaction times and it really sucks to be driving without them cause the pain is kinda distracting.

I've found physiotherapists are often great for weird back and neck stuff? Worth a try? Often they can help out with stretches and exercises that make a huge difference.
