dr. scholes , or get some new shoes . my back was giving me trouble , i went to the doctor and he saw my shoes that were very old , i just bought some new ones and have been pain free ever since

stretch your back every few hours and sit down if you can during breaks. when you're at home, lie on the floor and gently raise your left arm and right leg a few inches off of the ground, then repeat using the opposite limbs. this exercise will help strengthen your back. people tend to ignore their lower backs and upper backs until they start to notice something is wrong. start working your back out when you exercise and don't forget to stretch.
