It might help to strengthen your 'working' muscles, especially your core....When I had a bit more strength in the past, I tried to exercise my stomach muscles as much as I could...It's really hard to do sit ups now, but it IS possible...Just a lot more rests in between sets...The stronger our muscles are in general, I figure the less pain we'll have...But definately don't over-do it, listen to your body, but sorta ignore it a teeny bit too (no pain, no gain).

What are your main symptoms, btw?

ttys and I hope this helped a tiny bit!
