I remember some years ago there was talk of imposing a USA-wide speed
limit on freeways, to reduce fuel consumption.  What happened to that
idea?  Was it ever introduced?

I used to get back problems like that, but since regularly exercising
each morning appropriately, hardly ever.  When I do hurt it, however,
(usually as result of doing something silly like lifting and turning
at the same time), the best way of persuading my spine to settle down
is to lie flat on my back for a while with a rolled-up towel under the
base of my spine.  It may take a bit of experimenting to get the right
size of towel and best position, but when you do, the relief is
immediate. If you can get a copy of, "Treat Your Own Back", by Robin
McKenzie, that could be very helpful.  Although originating in NZ, it
is a standard reference book for physical therapists in USA, so you
should be able to find it.
