Ouch!

I'm loving my new job, but have encountered a slight problem.

My back hurts. Not "oh God, I'm gonna need a truss" hurt; but "Hey, I'm using these muscles for the first time in a long time!" hurt.

Part of my job involves lifting heavy objects above shoulder height. I know this will improve as I get in shape, but for right now I'm living on hot-showers, deep-heating rubs, and Magnesium Salicylate.

Anybody have home remedies for back pain? Or suggestions for stretching or exercises to ease the pain and speed muscle development?

Tiger balm. But make sure its the non-staining kind.
