How can I get rid of this lower back pain?

About a year ago, my lower left back began hurting. I discovered that it was a pulled muscle by twisting rapidly during sports practice. I rested it for a while, and started exercising it to strengthen it. Now, 3 weeks ago, my right lower back began to hurt. I’ve used hot/cold treatments, and I take advil/motrin. (By the way, which is better?) I’ve stretched it and rested it for a while, but the pain and tightness still persists. Any ideas?

Why do women have back pain associated with large breasts?

My husband brought this up resently and I couldn’t think of a good answer. It seems that the average healthy woman should be capable of building back muscle that would acclimate to her breast size/weight?

I have terrible back pain and I know most women with large breasts do too. For the record, I am a natural 32DD and weight 125lbs at 5′6. I have excellent muscle strength. I tend to believe it’s because the weight is constaint so our muscles do not have a chance to recover and consequently adequate muscle cannot form.

Just curious what you all think.
