          38 here. Back pain started last year. Exercise is the way to go. I do weights about once a week now and the pain is gone and I am in better shape in general.

                As someone who just had a one shot with three couples and one guy who murderhoboed until he had to leave to take care of his pregnant wife, I find this stereotype funny as hell.

          Mine was so bad I had to get my wife to put my socks and shoes on for me for a few weeks. I was only 30 at the time…

          A friend got me this book and taking its advice was the best thing for me.

          Chiro didn’t do shit for me but physical therapy (this book) did. Now I work out regularly to include straight leg deadlifts and my back feels great. Still working on flexibility but that has also improved.

          See a physical therapist. They’ll train you on how to perform strengthening exercises properly to take pressure off your spine. It can be expensive depending on your insurance (if that’s a concern), but if you are consistent with the exercises it can definitely make a huge difference.
