back muscles and from taking too much weight at once. try out the following
for controlling the pain.

pain, lie on the bed and take rest for at least 2 full days,

an icepack on the effected area. After half an hour keep a hot pack. Repeat if
needed.

on your stomach. Dip a towel in boiling water, twist the water out from the towel
