Well, i certainly would not take exercise advice from someone who has not evaluated you (posting above).
First priority is to get this problem correctly diagnosed. How do you know you have a pinched nerve in your back? Did a doctor or therapist tell you so? It would be a good idea to get some professional eyes on you, so you know what you are dealing with here.
My advice would be to see your physical therapist. The PT is the member of your healthcare team who can help you get to the bottom of this problem, decrease the pain, and improve your ability to work and live without the pain again.
Go to APTA.org, click on "find a PT", and search your home area.
Good luck!

Try to search lower back exercises for strengthening and stretching. These exercises will help you , if you have any problems with certain movements. It will help loosening the muscles around your back and hamstrings which are connected to the spine. It can also relieve the symptoms if you have any radiating pain down to your legs. However , if it doesnt go away and its getting worse, better see a doctor . There are different kinds of impingement on lowerback, it can be from the disc, from arthritis, or stenosis (means theres a part on your spine where the nerve pass through but its narrowing. that is why you have nerve compression. Try also this exercise, Lying on your back, put one knee straight (affected side) then the other leg is bent. MOve the leg that is straight away from your body. Make sure you keep the knee straight and just rest it on the table. Another exs. is pull your knee to your chest do single first. Hold it 6seconds and do it 10 times. You can put the resting leg into straight position or you can bend it if you really fel tightness on your back. Then just do doubleknee to chest hold 6 sec. X10reps.

theropy-where they take u in a room and give u electric shock in your back. this is painless and helps the nerves and muscles work. your theropist will give you exerices to do at home and as well there. in time if you dont get better. they will need to do an mri to see if there is more problems then they thought. they might come up with surgery if needed or more theropy
