Have strained my back and it’s hurting. Any suggestions to reduce the uncomfort?

A good chiropractor is worth his / her weight in gold!

Hot bath. I use radox muscle soak bath salts (rather than the bubble bath). I pour a kettle of boiling water in there because my mixer taps won’t let me have a hot enough bath! (Caution advised!)

Ibuprofen and paracetamol (if you can take them).

Deep Heat (but not soon after the hot bath).

Lots of rest. And ice cream. Or chocolates.
