@SomaliRose @Gelatinousrube @LaylaAlexandrovna That is great advice! A while back I was actually trying to get into stretching my hamstrings...you know bend over touch your toes and my lower back and hamstrings were so tight at first, but I was able to go farther and farther easier with time.
Then I stopped doing it...and now that I think of it, that may be why I'm having back problems again, because I let myself get all tightened up again. I am definitely going to start that up again and I think I need to make myself do it every morning.

@FemaleIsNotAFeeling @Gelatinousrube @LaylaAlexandrovna Swear to the goddesses above if you get your legs limber and those hips and bum muscles limber it will tweak less and less. I mean I'm like 2 car accidents in and blamed damage for my back issues for years. Truth is, when I stretch all the time...it just doesn't tweak. I really hope you feel better soon. 💓 Another good one is sitting on a chair, cross your ankle and rest it on your opposite thigh. Then lean forward towards that foot. You'll feel the hips IMMEDIATELY

@FemaleIsNotAFeeling @Gelatinousrube @LaylaAlexandrovna Once it feels better, stretch your hips. Did wonders for me. Sit down and place soles of feet together then lean forward trying to touch your forehead to your feet. Your hips will release and it won't pull down so badly on your lower back muscles.

@FemaleIsNotAFeeling Can you slowly move to a hot shower?

@LaylaAlexandrovna I just did that! It helped me to feel refreshed, but still hurts. I just took a big horse pill of motrin and am laying down for the night trying not to move. It's in that state where if I push it, I'll throw my back out and be out for a week.
