Played a pickup basketball game this morning and pulled a muscle in my back. This is some of the worst pain I’ve ever felt. How do you old timers deal with bad backs? I’m not big on taking pain killers so any natural remedies would be helpful. Doing ice now.
The best natural remedy might be to give up basketball. Hope this helps:)

Ibuprofen and ice are critical.

Rest 24 hours and then slowly stretch from there (pelvic tilts, camel/cat stretch, knees to chest....)

Lacrosse ball on lower back in painful spots against the floor.

Walking is key after 24 hours. Slow walk on flat surface.

How do I know? Accident in my teens with surgery. Now 42 facing a 2 level lumbar fusion in September.
