I just started the mcKenzie exersizes. After a few tests, the pain isn't as severe as some have described having, so that is a relief. There is still some discomfort, however. I firmly believe that the problem has been amplified by weak hamstring and quad muscles.

In the meantime, while I am performing the McKenzie exersizes, what are a few exersizes that I can do that will strengthen my quads and hamstrings while not putting too much pressure on my back? This is pretty bad, because at 24 I didn't expect to be having back problems!

Thanks for the replies, they have been helpful.
