I remember hearing that heat wasn't good for some ailment - I think it might have been inflammation. Does that make sense?
It might not be good if your back pain involves a fracture, "slipped" disc. or a rupture of a disc.

If the back pain goes on for more than a week, you probably need to get to the doctor and get some serious meds. If the pain is left untreated, it may become chronic.
