back pain

[SwiftGTiRacer]

So at work today there was this kinda heavy box that i decided i wanted to see how heavy it actually was. I try and pick the box up and figure out how heavy it really is. Now its about 4 hours later and i'm in my room and my back is hurting. Its not horribly bad or anything but it hurts. Anyone have any advice on how to get my back better by tomorrow?

it'd be nice if i could take an oxy but seeing how i get random drug tests and i'm in the military all unprescription drugs are illegal thats out of the question. Any better adivce?

Depends on what you did to it. You probably strained or tore a muscle a little bit. There's really nothing you can do to make it 'better', just take some anti-inflammatory medication (ibuprofen, advil) and use a warm compress or take a hot shower/bath. Make sure you get a lot of sleep, that's when the body does most of it's healing.

thanks! i hope it doesn't get worse by tomorrow morning. i'm going to be pissed if i have to stop going to the gym because of this. But my supervisor will have my ass if i tell him i strained my back.
