Was doing some stuff around the house yesterday and putting things together while sat on the floor. (Really need to get a work bench or dining table) Stood up and absolutley couldnt stand up straight.
Done foam roller and slept on it and backs not too painful now but still stiff as hell, im having to squat to pick things up.
really not looking forward to crawling through confined spaces at work tonight

More foam rolling, and maybe some dead hangs if you have any pull-up bars available. Dead hangs are also great for your shoulder health!
I also recommend lying around all day, eating too much and feeling sorry for yourself |

Roll a bath sheet up in to a sausage that's roughly the length of your spine and lie on it.
You'll feel like you want to tense up but if you let your body go, it will mould round it to help |

Depends what the problem is. If it's a muscle spasm some Voltarol will help.
A deep tissue massage by a skilled massage therapist will do the trick, but it will hurt.
Ibuprofen and hot water bottle.
Hot bath and wait it out.

I think at this point its a multitude of things from bike crashes, to injury at work, to the awkward positions i have to work in and working above my head etc
Normally its just painin the mid back, this time though its like my whole lower back is just solid kinds like when youre leg goes to sleep it jist doesnt want to move.
Yeah deep tissue massage is fantastic used to get it on insurnace and through work physio but they changed the physio current one is terrible so thats out the window.
Its days like this i miss having boxes full of opiates |

A massage I had practically cured my muscle spasms. I used to be off my feet for 2-3 weeks before I had it. Since then I've only had a few minor twinge and one whole day of being careful with it.
No sudden movements or twisting; especially bending and twisting. |

"Drugs and keep mobile. Minimise swinging off the chandelier!"
When my back was bad I used to get the urge to hang by the hands from the top of the kids' swing.

Massage keeps me good for about a week. But i think a deep tissue/sports massage runs about 50 quid so soon adds up.

"Get a hard ball and a wall and self massage?"
I have a big knobly foam roller for that
But theres no way to do the individual vertebrae movements they do in a proper massage solo.
Sort of thumb either side of the bone and very gently move it side to side a tiny amount |

Ouch I did mine at the gym I feel your pain Strap it up if you have one and alternate between icing it and heat Paracetamol is better to start with rather than Ibuprofen according to a nurse friend of mine |

"Did you try the towel?"
