There is something to be said for Amoebas: they don't suffer from pinched spinal nerves. Right now I wish I were an Amoebae.

====================
May 2, 2006, from Lloyd Erlick,
I have a slight lower back problem. Fortunately I suffer pain only very rarely, and seemingly unpredictably. I could almost believe talking about it is a jinx ...
Anyway, I found very significant help from a book by Leon Root. I forget the title, something like My Aching Back. It's quite old, I think from the seventies.
Root outlines a series of exercises and stretches that help the back resist whatever it is that sets off the pain. The basic idea is that a well muscled torso protects and supports the spine.
I followed Root's advice for years. Lately (well, for a decade...) I've fallen into lardbelly shape. His exercises really help, and I should take my own advice ...
