Oooh, you're having back pain, too? :::sends sympathy:::

I've found that walking helps greatly, too, but walking on the treadmill seems to make it worse. (That sucks, because I have a rather expensive treadmill that's especially for people with back problems, because toolman has a really bad back.) Now it's too hot to go outside and the back hurts too much to walk inside and Curves is not open... Ack...

The doctor gave me some back exercises to try, though. It's just a sheet of paper that I could scan if you're interested, though I bet we could find these same exercise online somewhere. I've been doing some of them already (toolman showed me), so I'm wondering if they'll actually help.
