I am hoping to get some suggestions as to what you people do when your upper and lower back feels like its going to break. I almost had my engine in the bay when my back was starting to give and had to abort.

I've got a 95 pound Filipino wife that gives me the asian walking massage. :D

Oh yeah, 4 tylenol or ibuprofins....
I wish those came free. Already tried the ibuprofen (3) and that was an hour ago, with no luck. Even my cannabis isn't helping me today.Quote:

But my wife added that if your cannabis is not helping you should probably see a Doctor, if you pulled something you could use a muscle relaxer.....she is a pharmacist BTW.

I can only think of maybe one time I have had pain like this, and that was when I initially hurt my back and I couldn't walk for 2 days. I am forcing myself to keep moving today. The longer I sit still, the more I hurt.
You buy one of these.

15-20 min laying on one of these babies will make you feel like a million bucks after a hard day of working on the car.

I messed up my back bad years ago when I landscaped. I've been to the doctor countless times and tried various things. It has only gotten worse. The only thing I can do to get away from the pain at night is to sleep at a 90* angle on my chaise lounge sofa every single night. I have not slept in a bed in over a year.
I would suggest a good chiropractor. About five years ago I started having back pain out of nowhere. I reluctantly went to see a chiropractor. It tuns out that one side of my pelvis was 17mm higher than the other. The pain was so bad that I couldn't do anything without it hurting. I couldn't stand up straight. After seeing him for about five months I was back to normal. In fact, it only took about four visits for the pain to almost completely disappear. I haven't had to go back to one since.
good chiropractors, take it easy for a long weekend , learn proper stretching techniques for your lower and upper back and follow them, also good feet support helps a ton with me . if you can work on developing your back muscles as well as thatcan help with keeping everything where it should. trust me i know back pain im 6ft and 250lbs working as a heavy equipment mechnic i dont know if it gets any worse on your body than that
