Avoid high-impact exercise like running, softball, rowing, basketball, and tennis. All of these sports increase the pressure on the back and the musculature which can increase the back pain. Once you have resolved your back pain, you can return to these exercises, but do it gradually. If the pain returns, give up that exercise - it is not going to be right for you!
Better yet is to start walking or use low-impact machines like a bike or elliptical trainer. Another thing that will help is to work on the musculature in the core of the body. Crunches and reclined leg lifts will help strengthen the back muscles and take the strain off of the spine.
