A month back I was working out in the shop/shed. After several hours, no lifting in that time just sitting in front of the mill as it did it's thing, I finished the piece. When I was done my back felt tight, didn't think much of it then. Next day my lower back was sore as all get out. I couldn't move without pain, walked bent over a bit and getting up from a sitting position was painful. Figured I twisted one time too many when working at the mill and moving things, not heavy things though, from one bench to the other...or some such.
Waited more than a week and then, in my immense wisdom and when tired of dealing with moving too much like the old guy I am, went to the Chiropractor. After a couple of visits I was feeling better, though not completely over the stress on my back. So...I decided I could go to the shop again and remove the spindle from my mill. I forgot how heavy that piece was...ouch!
Now I'm looking at several more visits to the Chiro' and thinking I'm not ready for the shop again at this time. Sometimes it's best to wait rather than work in the shop too early and end up not working in the shop for an even longer period.
