As one who has four disks out (degenerated) in my lower back and
three in my neck, I can empathize with you. I suffered with it
since I was a teenager. Try an over-the-counter pill called
Momentum. Works very well.
Sitting is no good for you, neither is slow meandering (shopping)
which is also a great way to get out of shopping with your wife
;-}. There are some excellent stretching exercises you should do
daily. As long as I do them, my back is OK. And, be sure you
have a firm mattress. We recently replaced ours and it is
marvelous. I just found out mattresses only last 8 years.
If the pain persists, see a doctor. He will give you a pain
killer, and maybe he will suggest physical therapy. If so, do
it. A chiropractor is a temporary thing only. You feel good
until the next time.
Been there. Done that.
