My lower back has been killing me since that big tank job

We put together a large pressure vessel last month, and I lifted heavy plates every day. Now, I wake up with stiffness that takes hours to go away. I do morning stretches, but it's not enough. What tricks do you use for back pain?

Ever try a TENS unit? I used to doubt them.

Yeah I was the same about doubting them until my physical therapist made me try one. Started using it for my lower back after long drives and it just turns the pain from a sharp thing into a dull buzz. I'll even put the pads on my shoulders when they get tight from sitting at the computer. It doesn't fix the problem but it really helps you get through the day.

Oh wow... my friend dealt with that after a warehouse gig. He said alternating heat and cold made a huge difference for him.
