Well, your friends could be wrong about your back. So, i would say ice your back for about a half an hour while laying on your stomach. Also have your mom schedule a appointment for the kyropractor. The kyropractor will probably help you out a lot. Hope you feel better.

Try asking someone who knows. Or you can ask the doctor. It probably doesn't hurt because they might numb you or make you go to sleep. But then again I don't know it never happened to me.

I used to get really bad lower back pain because of the stress my back took during the sport I do. I would go to a chiropractor/ physical therapist once a week, or every other week. It was usually caused because I had done something to throw the alignment of my back off, and the discs would be twisted the wrong ways. All it would take to fix is a little adjustment, just like a special way of cracking your back in specific spots. To also help, I would wear heating pads. They last about 8 hours, and they velcro around your back, you can wear them under your clothes, you probably won't even be able to notice them. They are called ThermaCare, and you can get them at drug stores. Sometimes, if you sleep with them on, your back won't be as stiff and sore in the morning. I was also on a medication to keep any inflamation (swelling) down that could possibly be in my back. It was called Bextra, it was a perscription. But ask your doctor, or chiropracter about it, maybe it could help you. Also ask about if Motrin, or Ibupofin would help. Another possibility is that your lower back may be weak, and if that is the case, there are exercises you can do to make it feel better, and strengthen it. A physical therapist can help you with that. Make sure your posture is correct, as well, it is suprising what good posture can do for you. You may be standing or sitting all the time in a way that puts unnecessary pressure on your back. Ideal posture would be one in which your back is in a straight, neutral position, without slouching, and without overarching. Your shoulders should be down and back, and your head up.
Hope some of that helps! I've gone through alot of back problems, and alot of therapy and doctors for it, so please leave me a message in my inbox if you have any more questions or are confused about anything I said. Good luck, and I hope you feel better. Take care!
