This morning I was crouching down to get something out of my bag, when I sneezed and yucked my back. It's been knacking me all day.

Hopefully it's just temporary, does anyone know of the best course of action? Our lass says put ice on it, but I think she just wants to witness me suffering.

If she's got one of them mains powered vibrators, they're also great for pulled muscles....apparently

It's just battery operated.

If it's a back spasm, heat is the way forward. I know people recommend ice to reduce swelling but trust me, you want heat. I've had back trouble on and off for years after I did mine picking my daughter up out of the bath.

Keep as mobile as possible and avoid sitting down for long periods.

Just stick the heat on for at least 20 minutes and just keep doing it whenever you get the slightest twinge

Defo heat. I have back spasms all the time and it works. Keep moving as much as you can; remaining stationary will only make it worse. And I suggest muscle relaxants, of any sort. If it's really bad, ask your GP for diazepam. If it's not that bad, drink lots of booze. In this case, it really is medicinal. Not that you'll need an excuse!

Get some Firey Jack or other heat treatment. Rub it into your back then give the scrotum a good massage. You'll forget about your bad back very quickly.
