Jody and I have both thrown our backs out on different occasions -- we were both very stressed out during the respective times. Everything I know and have read (from a layperson's perspective, not medical) about recovering from back aches is that you're supposed to do as much exercise as you feel capable of doing -- walking, situps, etc. -- which help stretch the muscles. Resting a sore back is actually supposed to be counter-productive.
I finally broke down and went to the doctor; he prescribed physical therapy, 550mg Alleve, and a muscle relaxant.
