Before you do anything. Go see a physician

Luckily, my wife is a physician and she basically said, apply heat and take ibuprofen. I think it was an isolated strain. It's getting better and I don't think I'll be seeing a chiropractor. kleinbl00 is right though, core exercises help protect and strengthen the back. I was doing them very regularly and then stopped about 3 weeks back. It could be that my body is punishing me. Need to get cracking' again.

Also, mk, I plan on doing your fast at some point next week. Probably starting Monday morning.

Best of luck. Not eating for 72 hours wasn't as difficult as I imagined it might be, but it wasn't easy either. The occasional dash of salt works wonders.

Thanks, I have done it before, but not without the aid of lemon juice, cayenne pepper and maple syrup. It was about seven years ago. Made for some interesting bowel movements…
