And it's so hard to resolve. Your doctor will tell you to do certain stretches but it never helps me. Just rest.

Rest was standard of care 30-40 years ago. We stopped doing that because inactivity leads to muscle atrophy and further spinal stabilizer muscle atrophy, thus greater spinal instability.

Yes, I'm sorry. May the iron grant you a swift passing.

It sounds weird, but the best I've found is running. When I'm in running season, I tend not to get back spasms, and if I do they are mild and only last a day or two. In the winter when I don't run, a back spasm hurts like hell for a week or longer. I'm guessing it's my shoulders moving up and down with each stride? I don't know, but something about it helps immensely.

Glad that helps you. I wish I didn't work every day for 11 hours so i could try.
