Give your back a rest/recovery period, maybe a month. Some daily slow
Tai-chi exercises help, but avoid movements or activity that induces
pain. Swimming is excellent. Never twist (your back) and lift
objects. Take time to heal--your back is more important than a few
squeaky floor boards.

Ditto. I've always had a strong back and last summer, threw it out for the
first time. I tried to work through it but just made matters worse.
Gave myself a week or two break from the heavy stuff and voila, back doing
back breaking work with no problems. The key is giving yourself
time to heal....
