What are /fit/'s thoughts on pic related and the like? I

The obvious is to foam roll and stretch on top of that, sauna and hot showers as well doesn't hurt.
If it's really bad then you just need to get it checked and work from there.

where is the pain in your back located

>>36530398
>the ice pack/heating pad method doesn't work.
then your pic won't work either
you fucked up too hard, son.

>>36530882
You don't want to massage or stretch an injured muscle. That's the opposite of what it needs when the injury has actually happened.

OP, those things do nothing for me.

that shit burns my skin, I use the menthol only stuff

>tfw sensitive skin

What does the pain feel like? Does it get worse when you bend forward? Does it radiate down your leg?

>>36531023
yes

it's another tool in the box. buy from a chinese/indian grocers.

>>36531089
If it gets worse when you bend and it radiates, that's a sign of a herniated disk. The best of luck to you, man. Don't lift heavy for a while and pay close attention to what makes it better or worse. If you sleep on your back or stomach can be an important factor, especially in the morning. I've had a slipped disk for 6 years myself. Not doing heavy squats anymore.

You gotta be a man once and put on some real heating cream on your skin(chest or something) and film it. Just post it then, I'd love that.

I had some heat cream once and it literally felt like hot needles puncturing your skinx1000 and I'm not sensitive

>>36532980
like?

>>36533034
I just Googled for intense heat cream and this was the one I had years back

It'll help with soreness but it won't fix a slipped disk.

It's capsaicin based. You can get similar products on eBay, but be careful as fuck with them, they're basically pepper spray in cream form.

>>36530398
It does help. But deep heat Is better

>>36533433
That's what it felt like actually

>>36533529
It's 0.075%. The one below is 1.47%, or so they claim. Mother of god.

Overpriced, but it works. You can get other shit at the pharmacy or order some horse shit like Blue Heat or Pink Heat for a lot less dollareedoos.
