Hey, RM, remember that your internal organs - those same ones that were involved with that "stomach flu" are fascially (sp?) attached to muscles in your lower back. Being sick probably *caused* the lower back injury. I found integrated massage and acupuncture most helpful for this kind of pain / injury.

Either way, sending lots of healing and relaxing butterflies your way. You deserve to feel wonderful, strong and fantastic, and you again soon!

Hugs and butterflies,
