Well, I am not having much luck so far this year. I pulled a muscle in my lower left back, and it is making life quite difficult for me. The Dr gave me an anti-inflammatory, a muscle relaxant and a pain pill. That was yesterday. So far, I am not feeling much improvement. My job requires a lot of moving around, lifting, bending, squatting, etc, so it is almost impossible for me to take it easy. Plus I need to exercise at some point, as I need to lose alot of weight.
What can I do? Any suggestions?
I am feeling quite frustrated. It seems something goes wrong for me whenever I am close to getting my life on track.
And, also, while it is quite painful, I am the kind of person who can ignore pain fairly well and because my job depends on it, I have to work through it.

Please help me out.
