I imagine i'm not the only one but who has back problems and how have you dealt with them?? Basically over the last month or so i've been suffering problems to my lower back, not to the extent of not being able to move (thankfully) but a pain that makes things awkward. Started initially with a bruise to my coccyx which has now sorted itself out, then a muscle pain down there. Saturday it seemed to be on the mend but now I think I have a trapped nerve down there which is bloody annoying as it twinges occasionally unexpectedly!!!

Is there any way to avoid things like this? Are there certain exercises I can do to prevent this in the future? Its not painful enough to go to a back specialist yet but was wondering if there was anything i can do myself?

Cheers
Chris
