Hello,
I'm sorry to hear that your wife is experiencing lower back pain. While over-the-counter pain medications and topical ointments like Moov or Iodex can provide some temporary relief, it's important to keep in mind that these treatments only address the symptoms of the pain and may not treat the underlying cause.
If your wife's pain is severe or has been going on for an extended period of time, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider. They can perform a physical exam and order any necessary tests to help diagnose the underlying cause of the pain.
In the meantime, there are some non-medical treatments that your wife may find helpful for managing her pain. These include:
Heat therapy - Applying a heat pack or taking a warm bath or shower can help relax muscles and reduce pain.
Cold therapy - Applying a cold pack or ice wrapped in a towel to the affected area can help reduce inflammation and pain.
Gentle stretching - Stretching exercises can help improve flexibility and reduce muscle tension.
Massage - Massaging the affected area can help improve blood flow and reduce muscle tension.
Rest - It's important to avoid any activities that may worsen the pain, and to rest the affected area as much as possible.
It's important to note that these treatments are not meant to replace medical advice or treatment. If your wife's pain persists or worsens, please consult with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of action.
