Go and get some physio therapy on you back and they will also teach you some very good exercises to strenghten your back.\n\nThis will help prevent future back pain and if you do get more back pain it shouldn't last as long if you have been doing the exercises.\n\nI know this beacuse I have painful back episodes myself and have had a lot of therapy over the years.\n\nWhen you feel good you tend to get lazy about exercise so try and keep doing the exercises as it's the only way to prevent or lessen the trouble.
