Acid reflux is enough of a challenge in one person's life, but it also can combine itself with back pain, making your life very unpleasant. You doctor can help you with solutions to both the acid reflux and the back pain that can sometimes comes with it.
Your choices
One of the simple treatments for reliving the pain of acid reflux and the back pain that sometimes comes with it, is simple household liquid, vinegar. Try adding a tablespoon of vinegar to your diet, best taken in the morning and , in most cases, will slow the production of acid in your stomach.
You can use Apple cider vinegar instead of normal vinegar. This should give a more palatable taste that you can deal with on a regular basis. It can start working after a few days, but it is important to keep taking on a consistent basis to ensure the pain does not come back.
Another effective idea is to combine antacids and low level pain medication. Antacids will slow the acid reflux while the pain medication will work on the back pain. Antacids are such a mild form of medicine they can be taken safely in with medication such as regular back pain pills.
There are multiple over the counter and prescription drugs that are available for back pain. Acetaminophen anti-inflammatory drugs are the most commonly used, and can begin to show results in a few days.
Some muscle relaxants and selected pain medications can also be used. These should be considered to be a very short-term solution. In some cases, they will simply create more problems that the original illness.
