Argh, backpainmothereffer. HELP

Pseudonim

I have an old injury from falling off my horse in my late teens-fractured vertebrae and curvature of the spine to be exact. I can't get to my chiro until tomorrow, any ideas on what to do for pain relief? It's mostly dull, uncomfortable pain in my lower back and hips from misalignment and a pinched nerve of sorts.

I'm trotting off to take some codeine if all else fails.

If you can take pressure off your lower back, that should help. 

Either lie on the floor with your legs up on the couch or lie on your bed on your back with a couple pillows under your knees.

If you can do this while laying on a heating pad it might work even better.

Thanks you guys. Going to go and try that.

I have ridiculous back pain from a cheerleading injury in high school. Both of these work wonders. Heating pads are seriously gifts from the gods.
