This is a good website for tips to relieve your back pain
Tips for preventing back strain
* Don't lift by bending over. Lift an object by bending your knees and squatting to pick up the object. Keep your back straight and hold the object close to your body. Avoid twisting your body while lifting.
* Push rather than pull when you must move heavy objects.
* If you must sit at your desk or at the wheel of a car or truck for long hours, break up the time with stops to stretch.
* Wear flat shoes or shoes with low heels (1 inch or lower).
* Exercise regularly. An inactive lifestyle contributes to lower back pain.
Call your family doctor if:
* Pain goes down your leg below your knee
* Your leg, foot, groin or rectal area feels numb
* You have fever, nausea or vomiting, stomachache, weakness or sweating
* You lose control over going to the bathroom
* Your pain was caused by an injury
* Your pain is so intense you can't move around
* Your pain doesn't seem to be getting better after 2 to 3 weeks
