Are you planning a vacation of lying on your back taking pain pills? Give it a break. Take advil (just two at a time) and chase it with regular-strength tylenol (again just two). If that doesn’t help, see a doctor.

while you can start with the basic pain medication like ibuprofen otherwise call you doctor and see if you can get some hydrocodone (Vicodion) just to get your pain under control…otherwise just use lots of ice that will bring the swelling down and aspirin or Tylenol…have fun on vacation…

heat pads work good

Ice and tylenol. When the swelling subsides and you have just an ache, use heat.

This is my advice to you. I am not here to tell you to stop riding but I am here to tell you take longer breaks and more often. In the mean time I would say take some Advil, Tylenol, Bayer or any other Ibuprofen you could find. Take as directed. You could also put a heating pad on it. that will relax your muscles tremendously and right before you go to bed if it is possible ask somebody to rub alcohol on it or some other cream like Icy Hot, Bengay, or any other cream or gel that is good for muscles, joints and arthritis that will help relieve the pressure and the pain. I personally use Biofreeze my boyfriend got it for me and it seems to work pretty good. Good luck and I hope this helps you alot. Also have a pain free vacation
P.S. if it is swollen then before you put the heat put an Ice pack on it and then when the swelling goes down put the heating pad on it.

Duh! You know the old joke about the guy that goes to the doctor and says “Doc, it hurts when I do this” and the Doc says “Well don’t do that!” As someone who has had chronic back pain with herniated discs, you need to lay off or risk permanent damage. Not sure your age, which will affect how quickly you heal but try Biofreeze and ThermaCare.

Sounds to me like the kidneys are involved which is causing the upper back pain ( along with muscle strain ) and the the muscles in the lower back are strained . Do you stretch your leg muscles before your sessions ?…. they’re connected to your back you know .Do this now ,stretch your leg muscles like you would before and after a run,take an OTC NSAID , get some rest and quit over doing the 4wheeling or you won’t want to or be able to go 4wheeling on your vacation ,and before you start the 4wheeling do your stretches . Have fun!!!!!

Even if you are in acute pain you need to maintain the natural curve in your spine as much as possible. If you sit, be sure to sit without slouching. Use a lumbar roll to help you sit properly. While in acute pain you should sit as little as possible and then only for brief periods. If you must sit, choose a firm chair and do not sit on a soft couch or chair because that will make it harder to keep a good posture.
if you really must drive then make sure your seat is far enough back from the steering wheel so that your arms are fairly straight. Because if your arms are straight your upper body will be held back and this way you will not slouch. You must always use a lumbar roll when driving or riding in a car.
