Is this muscle ache or pinching pain coming from the spine? You need to differentiate, as you don't do the same things to fix them.<br>
<br>
If pinching - pay very close attention to your posture and have people smack you upsie your head if you slouch (I'm only half-kidding... sometimes you will slouch and not be aware due to habit). There are certain exercises you can do, and stretches, but depending on the pain and where it is, some will do more harm than good - for this, a doctor will usually refer you to a physical therapist.<br>
<br>
If muscle aching - examine your pillow, think about how soundly you sleep, think about how much caffiene you've had, and again, think about posture.<br>
<br>
Note how posture comes up in both. If you have poor posture, you have postural muscles - usually small muscle groups that do thier thing automatically. But bad posture tends to make them weak, and if it gets bad enough, your skeletal muscles will try to compensate for your postural muscle's defficiencies. This will cause frequent back aches and lead to more severe issues like pain radiating down your arm and into your hands, or down your legs - this happens when skeletal muscles end up over-compensating and effecting the areas where muscles and nerves come together. In the arm, if the shoulders over-compensate, it ends up tugging on your tricept, which in turn will start to impinge your ulnar nerve - the funny bone. When the ulnar nerve gets impinged it will become inflammed, which impinges it further - and then it gets real fun! You lose feeling in your hand and your arm becomes seemingly weak because you can hardly feel things. And the shooting pain is great.<br>
<br>
Why do I know this? Because this happened to me. It sucked.<br>
<br>
Posture. Make sure yours is good. Mine was in high school, but went to crap during college and after. Not something you want to have to fix.<br>
<br>
<br>
p.s. - if you've a friend with gentle yet strong hands, con them into giving back rubs - cheaper than seeing a massage therapist at $30/half-hour.

What you can do is go see a first you should go seea cropracter ot to see a doctor. When you slouch it makes you back hurt more. Also you soine gets cricked. Durning school you should sit up straight doing your work. And try doing situps. i know have you feel. laying on you bed staraghit and you feet straghit and your arms for about 5 sec. It should help try to dop it every night. When you sleep try to sleep straght and when you walk try to walk sraight up. This hsould help becasue we have to do the same trhing.
Hope we helped,

you might want to try flipping your mattress over...that usually works for me when my back hurts. maybe try adding or taking away a pillow from your bed and see if that helps. whenever you walk or sit, try not to slouch because that most likely makes it worse. if it keeps hurting, you might want to use a heating pad or just take a hot bath to try and relax your muscles.

Hey girlie,
Yea my back has been hurting a lot too. Well my issue is because I have my period. That could be why your back is hurting.
If you slouch too much when walking AND sitting it is VERY bad. Try and think tall when walking and keep your back straight when sitting
Pretend you are modeling lol
Hope I have helped
