I've recently started experiencing a lot of back pain. What can I do to prevent it from getting worse?

One thing you can do is try to reduce the amount of stress in your life. Stress can cause muscle tension and tightness, which can lead to back pain. You can also try stretching exercises or yoga to help relax your muscles and relieve any tension. Additionally, make sure that you are sleeping at least 7-8 hours each night, as lack of sleep can worsen existing back pain. Finally, talk to your doctor about any medications they may recommend for managing your pain.
