How to get rid of lower back pain ?

My back hurts cos I had lifted a heavy metal during my first voyage. It still hurts even after a year. Any idea about the problem ?

As goofy as it sounds, loose your shoes and walk barefoot, and allow your feet to act as the natural shock absorbers they were designed to be. You see, walking in shoes forces a heel strike step, sending the shock of that step right up your leg, into your ankles, knees, hips and back. Walking barefoot, as we were intended to walk, causes a forefoot strike, making the 33 bones and many muscles, tendons and joints in each foot, absorb the shock of each step, removing that stress from the rest of your body, including your back. However in your case, simply walking without shoes may not be the answer.

Thanks for your advice. Sounds good. May be I should try it and keep taking doctors advice.
