take ibuprofen before gardening. they say one before is better than 3 after. and
like george says, warm up. sore should go away in 48 hours, pain after that may need
a good chiro. Ingrid

Tsk, tsk, Grace. You need to warm up for gardening like you would for
any other exercise. Do about 10 minutes of stretching isometrics prior
to doing any work. You'll still be sore but probably won't have any
pulled muscles. You're just like the rest of us, anxious to get the
garden going and don't know when to quit. VBG

Hi there,

I've been overdoing it lately getting ready for spring, and I think
I pulled a muscle in my lower back. It's not the first time,
either. *sigh* Does anyone have some advice for me?
