Ive read a couple reports that low back pain is common in adults of all ages. Since Im an active adult and very athletic will I be spared this kind of problem?
• I’m a downhill ski instructor. Recently I hurt my back. Is it safe to ski when the back is sore? I’ve heard movement and activity is the best treatment and I don’t want to miss any work. • I just started a job as an over-the-road trucker. I drive about 60 hours/week. I have a history of back pain off and on. I’m wondering if there’s any research showing truck drivers have more back pain than other occupations. • My husband had surgery for a painful disc in his low back. He had good results. He’s almost pain free and able to do many of his regular household and work tasks. It’s been almost six months and he’s still taking pain relievers and hasn’t gone back to work. Am I expecting too much?
