Backache also known as lumbago is defined as mild to severe pain or discomfort in the area of the lower back.

A small amount (1-3 puffs from waterpipe or vaporizer, preferably) of cannabis will enable you to exercise and stretch while experiencing back pain.

The sooner (don't even waste a minute) you exercise/stretch after you hurt your back, the better. It will be counterintuitive, but you must work slowly and methodically through the pain by exercise and stretching- carefully. This is where the natural herb helps. Don't be tempted to do more than a little at a time, and don't use it except as medicine (for the most part). I have a presciption, being lucky enought to live in a state that allows this. What a Godsend!

Exercises that develop the strongest core/abdominal muscles are the best. Don't be afraid to use (even heavy) weights to get as strong as you can, but build up to it SLOWLY. I have lived w/ a bad back for 20 years; conditioning slowly to build up to hard exercise is best. Walking, running uphill, biking work great. Don't rest between sets, & try to get as strong as possible. This will build up your core muscles through working the muscles of your limbs.

Hydration is important- I stongly believe that drinking A LOT of water obviates back injury, and also helps one exercise after injury! Vitamin C, spinach/greens, vegs, and lean protein and good fats will also help lower back pain. Heating pad saved me initially. Now I only resort to aspirin occasionally. Tea is good as well (caffeine helps w/ pain).

Stretching in the shower after you exercise is needed: start w/ head between your legs, move head as far as range of motion permits, in every direction. Side bends will help so much- build up. This helped me become a very strong person at the gym; I didn't want to have to lift weights regularly, but I have to.

So I am either really strong and feel good, or I'm in pain and out of shape. C'est la vie. I had to learn the hard way, and suffered for 12 years before I LOST MY EXCESS WEIGHT and got strong. Educate yourself & PLAN ON SUCCESS- ALWAYS!
Peace.
