Oh, my aching back....

ManCityFan

So I don't know if any of you have encountered this, but I have been having back issues lately.  5 weeks of back issues varying from only a minor annoyance to can't get comfortable no matter what I do.  I thought the bad eyesight was going to be the biggest obstacle to building. 

Build while you can, youngsters...lol (0ldsters too, for that matter)

Enough whining.

Just saw your post D. I have two degenerated disks in my lower back. My first back pain attack was in my early 40s and it was bad. I was immobilized from the waist down from the SEVERE pain that radiated from my lower back to the legs. I was in bed for nearly a week.  I went to an Orthopedic Surgeon who recommended two things:

Know your limitations and deal with the pain.

Or have surgery done, only if one cannot manage the issue.

Fast forward 20+ years and I try very hard not to throw out my back. I know my limitations  and have reduced the injury rate over the years.

Surgery will either make u better or screw you up even further. I 've  heard from both sides.

I tried several times therapy and chiropractors but they don't help at all.
