deep heat patch

I woke up today with an intense pain on my lower back. I've had back pains before, but this one was BAD. I took paracetamol, and shrugged it off. How bad can it get?

IT GOT WORSE

I had to walk to the tube station today as they are repairing the main road so there was a massive traffic jam all the way to the station. It would have taken me 10-15 mins to walk to the station, but it took me 30 mins! I kept pausing because of the pain, it was awful!

I got to work and by now the pain had started to go away, probably from the paracetamol finally kicking in. But around lunch time, I felt it again, and this time I had no pills to push it away. So I just had to bear it. I told me team about it and they told me to get a heat patch from Boots. They said it will help relieve the pain.

I went to Boots after work and went straight to the Muscle Relief section to get the patch. So many to choose from! I asked the Boots staff and they asked are you suffering from severe pain? i said it's my first time suffering from back pain so it feels severe to me!

After a few more questions, I finally decided on the Deep Heat patch, mostly because I saw a lady buying it and thought she must know what she's doing...


The instructions say to put it on the affected area. Easy as that. I now have it on and it feels GOOD. Thank you heat patch!

Only 26 years old and already I am suffering from back pain. I feel OLD.
