I through my back out last week slipping on ice and falling. I thought it was better so I started exercising again and then it went out again.
How long do I have to wait until I can start exercising again so I don't keep throwing it out by exercising again too soon?

It could take anywhere from 2 weeks to a month depending on how bad the injury is. Only you know for sure if it is healed up completely. My advice is to ease off on any exercise that compromises your back for a while and just let it heal. If you don't, it will never get better. To help speed it up, try using mineral ice, liquid heat, or putting a hot water bottle on it. The more heat there, the more blood flows through the injury, and the faster it will heal.
