My friend has a spinal problem from the last year due to exertion at training camp. Doc recommended physiotherapy and it went good. But since last 2 days it has started paining allot and has involved shoulders and neck as well. It's paining for all the 24 hours. Please suggest something so that he can get rid of this pain.

- to releive his pain apply hot water bottle continously for 5 days. - during his physiotherapy session he would be told initial stage exercises, kindly start those exercises after 5 days only when pain had been reduced to 2 points (pain scale is from 0- 10 ,i.e 0 means no pain 10 means max pain) if his pain is 5 rightnow after 5 days decresed to 3 than start atlest one exercises for back). I recommed back muscle isometrics- simply lie on back with knees bend .aplly towel roll under lower back and press it for 10 sec than releive. Do its 10 repeatitions at a time for 2 - 3 times per day for 5 days than gradually start other exercises. - in intially days to releive pain do take pain killer (prescribed by physician) - but for future he needs to remmember his precautions to avoid reoccurrence of pain otherwise pain will always revert back.
