Ok, so what do you guys do when this strikes?
Last time it happened,I suffered for about two years,that what I do.
Walking around all hunched over caused me big problems with my hips and knees. I walked with a cane for a few years,didn't do much of anything that I didn't have to. I don't want to sound like a broken record with this,but I didn't really have a complete turn around with it until I started using the elliptical going on six months ago. The second week of it,it was working my lower back muscles so much that I was having trouble standing up straight again. I powered through it,kept doing 15 minutes a day.

I worked on a tractor Tuesday from 9am til 7pm,pretty much non stop. It was getting to me up around my shoulder blades,but not my lower back.
When I used to go to the chiropractor for lower back problems,he'd give some instruction sheets for lower back exercises. That's about all you can do for long term relief,is strengthen those muscles.

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
