Joe...get one of those cloth elastic belts, and wear it when doing heavy
lifting and when working bent over.
         I hurt my lower back a few years ago...couldn't even sneeze
without doubling over on the ground.  Wearing a belt while working for a
couple months allowed my back to heal. Now I wear it only when reversing,
or taking off the crop. If I hadn't found it, I probably would have had to
quit keeping bees.

Mike
