People suffering from back pain have taken some extreme, and unnecessary measures to relive their pain. Although people have tried things from drinking their own urine to hanging from door frames it has been shown that sticking to the tried and true methods of staying hydrated with water and taking an anti-inflammatory as needed will do far more good and produce far less risk than these new off the wall methods. If back pain does not subside within a reasonable amount of time, sufferers should go see a chiropractor or their general physician.
