I ended up going to my family doctor and he gave me a muscle relaxant called skalaxin or something like that. took those for a few days, they didn't help much so I got off them. A day after I did, I was fine. Haven't had a problem since.

Maybe I need some of those, but I've never heard of skalaxin....

I have had lower back problems for years. So for the car (tC), I have purchased a back cushion with a built in air pump for lower back. Works great.

Many sites but below is an example:
http://www.vitalityweb.com/backstore/Cushionindex.html

One in particular is only $55:
ADJUSTABLE AIR FULL BACK CUSHION - The design encourages proper posture and allows an easily varied amount of lumbar support, encouraging relief and prevention of back pain. The inflatable air chamber may be moved up and down within the support. The contoured shape of this support reduces lateral disc bulging. (18" w X 20" h) Ordering Info. $55.00

i feel your pain. i started to have major back pains about 6 months ago with the pain going down my legs into my feet.. hit up a chiropractor and did help but now its just too costly to keep going. im still gettin the pains when i drive in my lower back and down towards my feet.

not fun at all when youre only 23 and still just wanna run around crazy

and to guy who think it might be kidney stones... you'd know when it is. i got them when i was in high school and was f'in *floored* you can barely stand up.

I have two slip disks in my lumbar section of spine, prolly from landing on my head too many times BMXing, but the tC is one of the few cars I've owned ( 8 cars ) that has given me no problems, I agree with everyone about the telescoping steering wheel though.

I agree, the seats are comfortable. They're nice and bulky. I have my seat reclined just a tiny bit beyond vertical, and the seat pumped (most awesomest seat feature) up a little bit. Feels great and I don't have any back pain.
