As many have said, becoming more active worked for me. Going to the gym, running, biking, something like that to get you moving. I spent a lot of time performing back exercises in the gym. As long as you don't overdo it and hurt yourself, you will get stronger and the pain will go away.
General (not caused by injury) back pain is caused by weak muscles, so this really is the key. There are all sorts of products out there promising you miracle cures, but they are just a patch on top of the real problem and don't help to actually fix it. -☙ Brian Mathis ❧- On Wed, Jul 20, 2011 at 5:11 PM, Gilbert Wilson <[email protected]> wrote: > All: > > So, I've recently started going to yoga to help relieve my persistent back > pain.
