I do get lower back pain, had it (on and off) most of my life, must admit while on PM it does seem to last noticeably longer, always put it down to slower healing; it also tends to travel down as different muscle groups get used (to compensate/protect ?). I now stop all supplements whenever I suffer any form of injury or illness, it seems to help with the healing process.

I find a massage wand helps (a lot) when my back starts grumbling, it improves blood circulation and releases any toxins that may have built-up over time.

I too take a break, last year I did 8-months or so on PM cycling every 5-weeks, then took a few months off, so might just do the same in a month or two. In the meantime I'm massaging and using heat rub to keep the pain under control whilst avoiding pain killers as much as I can, thanks.
