Around 99 I severely injured my cartlidge in my lower back. I was working for a Tree trimming sign repair company and was throwing a huge log that weighed almost as much as I did at the time into the back of a dump truck. I felt a pop, and was in a bean bag chair for almost 2 weeks. It was the only thing that made me comfortable.
Pain was really bad on and off, and my legs and sometimes arm would go numb. Ive worked in auto parts on and off since 91 and that was the worse thing. Standing on hard floors all day. I finally took 2 years off just running my game server business I had and working from a laptop while lying on the couch. I had a few months of therapy which never really helped. Had to use a tense unit even for a quite a while, as the muscles would freeze up real bad. It eventually felt alot better. About 7 months ago I started going to a deep tissue massage therapist and she really helped alot. My posture even improved.
Im really amazed my back came back to as good as it used to be, I was afraid of having constant backpain for life. So far I've been doing great *knocks on wood*
