Oh, Ann, so sorry to hear about this.  There, there.  Do take care, and rest, 
and let yourself fully recover.  Geez, that sucks.  Had a bit of a sore back 
last summer, and I took care to nurse it.  For the back, use ice.  I used a bag 
of frozen vegetables—peas.  Ice is best for sore back according to my friend 
who sees a chiropractor and has a bit of a back issue.  As soon as I started 
icing my back, it started to heal up right away.

Hope you have a speedy recovery.
xoxo Christine
