Can I rid myself of this backpain?

Question

Is I have modified my box spring so that it gives the mattress more support but my back still aches terribly. Is there something more I can do to my box spring? I have tried going to the chiropractor but it is too costly. I am a college student. I am 20 years old and have had back pains for about four years now.

I stretch before bed.

I stretch (most days) when I wake

I go for walks occasionally but the back pain holds me back from other exercises.

Answer 1

well you could have problems with your back from carrying a book bag in high school. I haf to have a Laminectomy which is disc removal from the spine you could have a slipped disc and basically i would go have it seen about by a doctor if it is that serious and you have had chronic problems for that long. See if there is injury before trying weight exercises

Answer 2

the best thing believe it or not is to do weight exercise for your back muscles to strengthen them, people have the misconception that you should just take it easy on it. Obviously dont start off too hard but give it time and it should have a positive effect ;-)
