I'm sorry to hear that you're in pain. It's important to take back injuries seriously. Here are some steps you can consider:
1. **Rest**: Try to avoid movements that aggravate the pain.
2. **Ice**: Apply ice to the affected area for 15-20 minutes at a time to reduce swelling and numb the pain.
3. **Over-the-Counter Pain Relief**: Medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen may help alleviate pain (be sure to follow the recommended dosage).
4. **Seek Medical Attention**: If the pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms (like numbness, weakness, or difficulty moving), it's important to see a healthcare professional.
If you experience any significant distress or worsening symptoms, please seek medical help immediately. Take care!
