How to Deal With Backpain

Back pain can be a debilitating condition that affects your daily life. Here are some tips on how to deal with back pain:

Rest: Rest is often the first line of defense against back pain. Avoid activities that aggravate your pain, and take breaks throughout the day to rest.

Ice and Heat: Applying ice or heat to the affected area can help relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Apply ice for the first 48-72 hours after an injury, then switch to heat.

Exercise: Gentle exercises and stretches can help relieve back pain and prevent future episodes. Consult with a physical therapist or a healthcare provider to determine which exercises are right for you.

Pain Medications: Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen and ibuprofen can help alleviate back pain. However, it is essential to follow dosage instructions carefully.

Massage Therapy: Massage can help relieve muscle tension and reduce pain.

Maintain Good Posture: Poor posture can put strain on your back muscles, causing pain. Ensure that you sit and stand with good posture to prevent back pain.

Weight Management: Being overweight can put pressure on your back, contributing to back pain. Maintain a healthy weight to reduce your risk of back pain.

If your back pain persists, consult with a healthcare provider. They can evaluate your condition and recommend appropriate treatments.

Physical Therapy for Upper Back Pain

Upper Back Pain? The number of knots found in the muscles of the upper shoulders is a good indicator for the tension many hold in that area. In fact, it’s not uncommon to feel pain and discomfort in the upper back. Sometimes we wake up with pain, having slept with our neck at a “weird” angle. Other times we find ourselves layering on the heating pad to tame a set of screaming upper traps after…

I think when people think of mental illness and what helps, especially with things like anxiety and depression, the treatment involves pushing yourself. Pushing yourself to get out of bed, to exercise, to take a shower, to go out in public, to order your own food from the cashier, etc.

And because the mental health movement has grown so much, people think that's the default of ALL illnesses. That the only way someone will get better is if they push themselves. That practice makes perfect. That you'll become more comfortable or strong over time the more you do something.

But what people need to realize is, with physical disabilities and chronic illnesses, pushing yourself in most cases is DETRIMENTAL. Pushing yourself past your limits can lead to flare ups or further injury. That's why it's important to know your limits, how certain activities may affect your condition, and learn how to either adapt or get help to complete the activity in question.

Also, most of us are already pushing ourselves. Most of us don't have access to the help or equipment we need. Most of us live in places where we frequently encounter inaccessible obstacles. Most of us NEED to rest.

So please don't try to be our physical therapists or doctors. There are people specifically trained to help us navigate our own conditions and limitations. There are people trained to help us strengthen our body's resilience without causing flare-ups or injury. Do not tell us "it'll be good for you" or "you need the exercise" when we say something is too heavy or too far or when we say we need our mobility aid(s). Your friend with depression may need to be encouraged to get out of bed, but your friend with chronic illness definitely doesn't.

Respect our rest.

So I’ve had three PT sessions so far as sort of a tune up for my back issues. I’ve been surprised at how much weakness I have in certain muscles (especially around my hips). It feels like each time I go in, she has to make the exercises even more basic to try to limit pain. And it’s so frustrating - with my job, it’s come into even starker focus how young I am to be having these issues. I spoke to my PT about that and she was like “yes you are young, but you also have a lot going on in your back”.

Today she gave me this thick belt thing that I could wear daily to stabilize my sacroiliac joints (basically sits low on my hips). I was hoping it wasn’t what I needed bc it reminds me of back braces (though obviously much much smaller and less noticeable) but as soon as I put it on, the lower back pain on my right side disappeared. I won’t wear it to bed (whereas the back braces I would) so that’s nice, and it’s just a temporary thing while we’re focusing on strengthening the muscles around it, AND it’s amazing that something so small could help my lower back pain, but it’s still hard to come to terms with.

When I was 12 and approaching this massive life changing and life saving back surgery, the surgeon told me I would be able to do everything after the surgery that I did before, with the exception of something like gymnastics or very high impact sports like football. But I started running at age 16/17 and got a stress fracture in three vertebrae right below where the fusion ended, and since then it feels like I haven’t been without some sort of pain throughout my back/neck. I was reading back through some of my medical records and I didn’t realize that even after the fusion, my curves are still 24 and 35 degrees I think? Which would be significant curves for someone who hasn’t had surgery. My PT has told me definitively that I will need surgery to extend the fusion in my lumber/sacral joints; it’s just a matter of when. I hope to put it off for as long as possible, but it feels so defeating and scary to think of how much more my mobility will be affected. And my ED brain is definitely using this as a way to argue that I absolutely need to lose weight to support my skeletal/muscular system.
