Thanks for the help. I've got to find a different Doctor to go to in the area. Mine is more of a prescription-only type guy. Surprisingly, I had to paint all weekend and my back is doing good today. So, maybe it's not horrid. One thing I've read online is that when the pain subsides I should start strengthening exercises immediately and I haven't done that.
Do you have suggestions for exercises in the meantime while I look for a new Doc? I was thinking planks, side planks, supermans, and some form of core exercises, but I'm not sure what is okay and what would possibly irritate my back.
