How Can Severe Backache Be Treated?

I am having severe pain in my back, just to the left of my right shoulder blade. No matter what position I put my right arm in, the pain continues. I took 15 mg. Meloxicam a minute ago, as this is the only prescription pain reliever I have on hand. What else can I do to relieve the pain?

Ayurveda Specialist 's  Response
hi sir/madam,
Upper back pain often results in movement limitation. Frequent cases of lower back pain, such as degenerated discs, rarely occur in the upper back. That is because the upper back is more stable and does not move as much as the lower back.
i would recommend these following ayurvedic treatments for you:-

Pizhichil – body massage with medicated oil with cotton cloth.
Elakizhi – to improve muscle strength and to improve shoulder movement ability a special herbal pack is included with medicated oil in the process of pizhichil.
Nasyam – therapy based on pancha karma.
Physiotherapy is also a good choice.
Training of the muscles intensively, indulging in pranayama and other yoga exercises and other stress mitigating activities
Shiro vasti – bathing of head with medicinal oils in a specialised manner.
Greeva vasthi – a neck treatment done to nullify the pain due to cervical spinal compression.
I find this answer helpful
