Last night, I went for a mile jog. About a half an hour after coming back home, I felt some pain in my lower left back. I put ice on it and took some Ibuprofen, but I woke up this morning and it hurt even more. I took more Ibuprofen, but nothing seems to be relieving the pain. I have an appointment with my chiropractor already set up for next week. Are there any other ways I can relieve the pain until then?

My road bike fit perfectly, except that the saddle wasn’t bottom friendly. Since I’ve installed a new saddle (which is great for my bottom) I’ve been getting lower back pain after about half an hour of riding. The change of seat is obviously the problem. What should I do? Move it forward, back? Tilt up or down (it’s level now). Higher? Lower?

Please don’t tell me to use a different seat, I have a variety of butt problems and this seat solves them all.

Thanks!
