to help eease the pain, once it's kicked in, and before exercising - Tiger Balm in the red can - makes Ben -Gay smell 'light', but the stuff kicks butt for easing tight muscles. sorbithane inserts or heel cups for your shoes/boots, stretching, situps, back extensions, and back 'lengthening' exercises (flat on your back on the floor, stretch, then bring your knees up to a 45 degeree angle, feet still on the floor, repeat for about 10 reps), Yoga, or Tai Chi have been known to help. Have you tried therapeutic massage?

All of the above except tiger balm were covered by others, just reiterating.
