>I do have mechanical damage to lower spine, hence the norco taper and hot pursuit of pain relief (!).
30 years ago I had a laminectomy for a ruptured disc at L4-5 and though it was successful in its own terms I was always prone to real pain and disability. Once I felt tense (as you do) thought I needed some meaningful exercise, went out to chainsaw something in the garden, something went in my back and it was on again. I thought OK then and lay on my back reading about C20 European history and drinking milk and dates and did nothing more for 6 weeks.
I have done 5 years of daily Pilates since then and can lift logs half the day and still be OK.
