Rachel, While I don't have enough detail about your medical history from your post and am certainly no doctor, I would recommend stretching out your lower back/glutes as soon as you wake up before you even get out of bed. Bring your knees to your chest, both legs and one at a time, then do the same slightly twisting to one side. Then cross one leg over the other and pull the underside leg towards your chest to stretch the glutes. If I do that I notice much less stiffness and pain in my back. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2005 3:42 PM Subject: any suggestions > Hi, My name is Rachel.
