Back pain stopped me after four weeks. How do I start again?

At the end of week 4 my back froze with a painful sacroiliac. That was three weeks ago. How long should I give it before I start again? What’s the best way? Do I need to go back to the beginning? I so enjoyed the first 4 weeks. I’m 72 and trying to get fit again after about 5 years sloth.

I would seek advice from Physio, but the first step I imagine is to be comfortable walking for 30 mins, then see how you go.

That really is a question for the medics and physios - sorry. Hope you mend well soon.
