Hi Grace - First you need to do some stretching and strengthening
exercises for your back. Then to give you support an elastic back brace
does help. Wear when extensive bending and lifting is required to
prevent further injury. Also you can treat yourself on bad days to those
warming back pads that are sold in drug stores that warm up with your
body temperature and last about 8 hours. You can also change your
garden activity from hour to hour for less strain. Good luck, Randy

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?
