I strained my lower back almost 3 weeks ago and I am reporting to OSUT to start my 18x contract in a little under 2 weeks. Back is still nagging and I need a fix before I report. I havent been able to run in a while because of it. Also got swine flu and am trying to get over that. Needless to say, my PT has taken a hit. I have been maintaining an ice and heat regiment for a while, along with ibuprofen. Have gotten a massage and have also gone to a chiropractor. Chiropractor was the most recent and seemed to help a good deal. I will be going back in the next few days to see if he can help some more.

Any 18Ds have any more advice to try and take care of this? I would think this problem would be a major issue when trying to ruck and thus I am trying to get it back to 100% before I report. Is this a common problem on teams? Thanks in advance.
