Back Pain: Prescription strength anti inflammatory for 5 days( aleve 2 pills with food 2 times a day). May supplement with tylenol (acetaminophen). Begin neutral spine core stability exercises of mcgill with videos available on youtube. Should also be doing gentle range of motion and stretching exercises. Make sure you are lifting properly at work.
