Is Aleve Advisable For Lower Back Pain?

HI! I am having back pain and don t know whether I should use heat or ice. I was vacuuming 2 days ago and twisted just right when I felt a twinge. That day was not too bad, but yesterday I felt worse and it bothered more. It is my lower back. It was worse while sitting and felt better when I was standing or moving around. Today it is bothering more when I am up too. I have been taking Aleve and using heat

Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think Alive is very good for you. This may be a muscle sprain of the lower back and it will take some days of treatment before it starts the improvement.
I wish you quick recovery.
