^ I am no doctor, I would hope you are seeing a good one, but I've had back pain every since I twisted my back playing football in sixth grade. I finally went to one of the best back doc's in so cal as an adult and he showed me a bunch of exercises to do that stretch the back and neck muscles that really help me a lot.

You can probably find them on webmd or something but basically you get down on all fours and arch your body up as far as you can (kinda like a cat ) and then slowly arch the opposite direction, and and then twist right and left. I do this all the time in the morning and it really helps me but, like I said, I hope you are seeing a real doc about it in case its something more serious. good luck.
boaz Reviewed by boaz on . herniated disc !!!help!!! it is a pain in the ass trying to find out anything relevant from the internet without having to buy this or subscribe to that, so i'm calling on the openness of these forums and the experience of those out there who don't mind sharing their experience with others who have similar conditions. anyone out there with chronic back pain, bulging or herniated discs, or spinal stenosis. i'm curious about what kind of treatments have been effective at relieving the most severe back or neck pain.
