So my back is mega tight. I don't know what's happened to it, but it hurts constantly. I went to bend down to pick something up the other night and it locked, and I felt like if I had carried on bending my back, it would have popped D;

Anyone got any tips on how to ease my back without the use of massage?

Try applying heat to the spot. If it's swollen, it should decrease if you do that frequently.
If it's very bad, I think you should consult with a doctor or a physiotherapist.
For god's sake don't go to a chiropractor, they might accidentally make it worse.

Good luck, and hope you feel better soon c:

Masquerade! Paper faces on parade. Masquerade!


Apply heat whenever possible to the area affected. When sleeping, lie down flat; have one pillow that is not too fluffy or high up and make sure the bed is hard. It helps to lessen the pain and massage the back.

Do not lift anything heavy and try to not bend over as much as possible. I truly hope your sore back goes away shorty. heart

It hurts all along my spine and around my shoulders sad I need a new mattress which I know isn't helping. I can't avoid lifting...it's part of a daily role in my job sad I will try those tips though, thankyou smile

Apply heat as mentioned plus if you have someone who can massage it for you. Get them to do that. I have bad back problems and I have to get a friend of mine to massage my back then quick crack it. It helps.
