The Back

I have been experiencing some lower back pain for quite some time.  When I wake up in the morning it is a bit sore and then once I get moving it tends to be just fine and I go about my business.  This evening I pulled up to the house to pick up Andy for scouts and somehow tweaked my back while getting out of the car.  I don't know what I did.  I didn't feel a pop or anything else for that matter.  I just stood up out of the car and suddenly my lower back on the left side was in major pain.  I stretched a bit at the car and then had Natty help me with a couple other stretches.  No real improvement but we had to move.  Got Andy to scouts and then I had my scouts and others over at a wood cutting project.  I had to simply tough it out.  I tried to avoid certain things that triggered the pain and that has helped but sometimes it just comes.  Well, the back is in bad shape tonight.  Hopefully a bit of rest will help the situation.  I don't really have time for back pain.
