What can help my back feel better?

Question

i wrenched my back playing softball and it hurts. i have tried ice a shower stretching and taking asprin but it doesnt work. What can make it heal faster?

Answer 1

Ice will help reduce the swelling. I would also use a stronger anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen.  

Answer 2

Depends on the injury - if you were hurt from direct impact, you may have brused the area and possibly the disc of your spine.  If the pain continues, you will need to see  your doctor just to make sure your back does not have any internal injury.
