Bracing yourself is a cinch

Chances are, not in this lifetime. In the opinion of most experts, that stabbing pain you feel in your lower back didn't just show up overnight. The agony you feel is your back giving you hell for all the pain and suffering you put it through because of your lousy lifting habits over the years. Now the chickens have come home to roost. The pain may come and go, but it most likely won't ever go away forever. Medication, massage, whirlpools and lower back support may give you temporary relief, but you have to understand that the damage is done, and Mr. Pain in the back will remain a pain in the neck for the foreseeable future.
