back pain

How do you relieve back pain? Ice or heat? Or any other methods?

I'm 37 weeks and I have been taking a hot shower with my back turned to the water so it can put some pressure on my lower back, plus the heat feels good!

Omg i really need a back rub. My bf says he doesn't know how! And then when he tries its horrible.  I know hes doing it on purpose. Maybe ill have to treat myself to a massage or get one if those at home massagers.

Ice and heat don't always do it. What I do is take one or two tylenol and apply tiger balm. You can get it at Wallgreens. It'll work like a charm!
