We put together a large pressure vessel last month, and I lifted heavy plates every day. Now, I wake up with stiffness that takes hours to go away. I do morning stretches, but it's not enough. What tricks do you use for back pain?

Hot take: Stood my ground when the boss pushed for a risky shortcut
