you ARE getting older
take motrin IB every four hours
ice the first two days it is hurts
then heat until it is better
icy/hot really penetrates
my back hurt where you had indicated from sleeping on the couch
also from lifting a heavy bag out from behind the seats of my pickup
try laying on the ground like larry bird used to do during games
on your stomach with your back arched resting on your elbows
this position also allows you to appy heat and ice
also try laying on your back and pulling your knees into your chest
hold this position with your arms wrapped around your knees
a slight rocking motion will massage the back increasing blood flow
walking and excercise will also help more than you would expect
do not do any excessive stretching, moving, or lifting
mind your posture while you are at the computer, don\'t slouch
respect your elders
donate blood
take a child fishing
rescue a dog from the shelter
donate used clothes and blankets to the homeless
