It's actually making your pain WORSE. If you've ever been told: \u274c "Just rest your back" \u274c "Take it easy for a few months" \u274c "Stop lifting until it's healed" ...that advice might be why you're STILL struggling months (or years) later. I know because I fell for it too. After my injury, I stopped training completely. Rested for months. And it made everything worse.
