Most back pain like you describe is actually caused by the lower back muscles tensioning-up in reaction to one's hips becoming misaligned.

A physical therapist taught me this after being out for 10 days with a bad back. I try to do this exercise at least four times a week, and I haven't had serious back pain in over ten years.

Best wishes for some relief.
thank you, mr.gurney! i will try this as soon as i get home. ive been marching around the office for 5min every hr. and swinging my legs one at a time while standing to keep my muscles as loose as possible.

all i need now is a sand bag to kick the shitto out of.
