Today, I have severe back pain that is only relieved by lying flat on my bed. I also have acid reflux that is only prevented by sitting straight up. FML

Sit up at an angle to partially relieve both! It's bound to work!

Don't they make medicine for stuff like that?

are you SURE it's acid reflux? are you SURE it's your back? Is it your upper back or lower? If upper back, I would strongly suggest you go see a doctor immediately. Could you be having a heart attack?

I'd tend to agree with you, but back pain that worsens if the back isn't kept still is probably actually back pain - if it was a heart attack, my guess would be that movement wouldn't affect the pain so much. But you're definitely right, diffuse pains in the chest/upper back area should always be checked out to rule out a cardiac cause.

1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water, gulp it down. It won't fix your back, but it will definitely help the acid reflux.

I used to have really bad back pain too, what worked for me was laying on a heating pad and also doing physical therapy. one of the exercises they had me do was hugging my knees to my chest and holding it for a little bit. don't know anything about acid reflux. hope you feel better soon! and also, yes fyl : )

Having had that exact problem, I feel your pain. I would personally try taking an over the counter acid reducer, which should help a little. You can also try drinking milk, which should help too. For the back pain, I would try a heating pad, or one of those heated patches, or even icy hot. Hopefully you'll be able to find something that helps. Definitely sucks. Good luck.

Drink milk to get temporary relief from acid reflux. Then you will be able to lie down. Then get a massage done on your back as soon as you can. You'll feel better.
