Sore back?!
Question: I woke up this morning, and had a midly sore lower back. Just before taking my dog for a walk, it started getting more painful. Just as I was making soup for lunch, it hurt it (??) even more. What should I do?

Our lower back or lumbar region is most at risk for injury because it isn't supported by anything else in the spinal column. Your best bet is to rest it, apply a heat pad and take an anti-inflammatory such as Ibuprofen. If it doesn't resolve itself in a few days then you may need a doctor's visit to rule out anything more sinister.
