One of the ways that acupuncture and acupressure work is that they cause certain compounds such as endorphins (the body's natural pain killers) and serotonin (the bodies feel-good chemical) to be released into the bloodstream. Therefore, pressing safely on certain spots hard enough to elicit achy pain, such as the fleshy point between the thumb and forefinger (called LI-4), can be effective for treating pain all over the body, not just the back.  Creating pain temporarily to treat pain due to an injury may seem strange, but that's one of the ways that acupressure and acupuncture work. While laying down on a sofa or bed, apply pressure on this point for at least 10 seconds and release it for another 5 seconds. Repeat at least 3x and wait to see how it impacts your back pain. This acupressure point is on the anterior part of your lower arm, about 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) below (distal to) where your elbow joint flexes. This point is within the brachioradialis muscle and often referred to as the LU-6 point. Sit up in a comfortable position and raise your arm to find the spot (typically 4 finger widths from your elbow). Start with the side of the body that hurts more and press the point for about 30 seconds, 3-4x for 5-10 minutes for best results. Acupressure points may be tender when you first press on them, but the feeling will likely diminish the more times you use them. Always try to press and activate acupressure points on both sides of your body, especially if they're easy to get at like the ones in the hands and elbows. It may not be obvious which side of your back is injured, so always stimulate acupressure points bilaterally if possible. As you first apply firm pressure to the hands and elbows, you will likely feel a slight achiness or even burning sensation. This often indicates you're pressing on the right spot and it will disappear as you continue to put pressure on it. Immediately after any acupressure treatment, you should apply ice (wrapped in a thin towel) to the thinner muscles of the arm for about 10 minutes, which will help prevent any bruising or unnecessary tenderness. In addition to ice, frozen gel packs are effective for inflammation and pain control too.

summary: Press on the point between your thumb and forefinger. Press on points around the elbow. Make sure you press both hands and elbows. Apply some ice.

Understanding the root of your jealous feelings can help to neutralize them. Think about how you react to your boyfriend's plans to go out and try to pinpoint what bothers you most about it. Consider the events and circumstances from your past that could have shaped these jealous feelings.  For example, a former boyfriend of yours may have acted in an untrustworthy manner when he went out with his friends. You may also be worried about missing out on a fun time that your boyfriend may have without you. Insecurity about your boyfriend's activities may come from a genuine worry that he will betray you in some way. Try to figure out if your feelings are based on an unsubstantiated worry, or if you actually believe that your boyfriend isn't trustworthy. Ask yourself if any of his past actions give you reason to doubt his character.  If you don't believe that he will break your trust, your jealousy will likely pass. If you do believe that he might cheat on you or hurt you, you will have to reexamine your relationship beyond one simple night out and end it if necessary. Communicating your feelings of jealousy may keep them from spiraling out of control. Tell your boyfriend that you are feeling jealous about him going out without you and that you are trying to gain some control over your emotions. Hiding your feelings may result in tension and a sense of disconnectedness in your relationship.  Be sure to express this in an open and non-confrontational way. For instance, you can say, "I've been feeling jealous about your night out this weekend but I am trying to keep my emotions in check." If this revelation makes your boyfriend angry, ask him why he is reacting that way and suggest that you have a serious conversation about it. If your boyfriend suggests that your jealousy is irrational, ask him how he might feel if he were in your shoes.

summary: Try to figure out where your jealousy comes from. Ask yourself if you are worried that your boyfriend will break your trust. Be honest with your partner about your jealous feelings.
