Sock blowing in the wind
Perhaps our back problems could be traced to strenuous work in early age.
As a 16 year old summer job, I worked for a company that supplied all of the hard goods and soft goods to the German gardeners (commercial lettuce /tomato operations) on the southside of Indy.
I remember (un-fondly) unloading train cars full of 6 cu./ft. bales of peat moss.
I was a farm kid, I blame thousands of hay bales. And maybe more than a little reckless abandon contributed, too. I wear the black sheep of the family label proudly.Perhaps our back problems could be traced to strenuous work in early age.

Just thinking about those days now makes my back hurt. That was also some hot work in summer in FL.
At 16, I was loading and unloading windows and doors from trucks, putting the windows into racks, picking up orders for our builders.
I used to be able to pick up a 200lbs door over my head and sprint to the trucks, and I could do that 5 or 6 times before being too tired to do that.
Today, I doubt I could even do that with one.
The idea of back issues and hard work as a youth....there might be something to it.
Morning ... just sitting around waiting for Phone to Ring
Different times, different mindsets. I got rear ended by a tri-axle dump truck in the mid eighties. My head hit the frame for the rear window hard enough to pop the window loose from the cab of Dads truck.
Walked to his work to tell them, went home and replaced the starter on my car, and went to the factory for my shift. I made it about halfway through my shift before the whiplash won, and my neck still feels it to this day. Docs said whiplash and stress fractures in the neck.
3 doses of ibuprofen daily since then, and carry on with life
