My job and equipment doesn't help me. I stretch, sit in Epsom salt baths hot as can be. That helps a lot. (Fuck taking otc pain meds because my Dr. Is already pissed about liver values. Those Tylenol and shit like that are not good for you.) I have a place I can swim year round and that helps me the most. Best of luck and hope you find your cure because lower back pain sucks Donkey Dick!
