Like sharke (in a way) I threw my back out reaching for a pencil.
 
Seriously, I was laid up for two weeks.
 
Still have chronic lower back pain 30 years later.
 
Maybe I needs some medical chronic?

Amazing how one little incident from your youth can plague you the rest of your life. I have chronic lower back pain also, which started when I was age 20. We were stoned in a kid's playground (what a glamorous youth I obviously led) and I took a swing on the monkey bars. The twisting motion irritated my lower back and it's flared up on a regular basis since. I do much better these days since I started a regular routine of stretches, particularly the pigeon pose which I think has helped me more than any other. I also avoid sitting on sofas as this flares things up as well. I don't even have a sofa in my apartment, I sit upright on a desk chair all the time.

Is that the one where you squat at the edge of your garage roof and crap on the car?

No it's the one where I waddle through Times Square eating cigarette butts and vomit. 

I liked my interpretation better.

..and who here amongst us hasn't done that?

Any relationship between the following clip and my avatar is er....... mere coincidence...
 

 
 

 
 
I guess I've been lucky with my back.
 
The few times I've ever given it a bit of a rick was when throwing beer barrels around, and strange to say, it happened on the occasions when I picked up an empty one. I guess your muscles and poise are set to dead lift a heavy barrel, and when you actually pick up an empty one, everything's wrong/unexpected.
 
Or something like that.

I once threw my back out taking clothes out of the dryer. Hobbled home and into bed and couldn't move for 12 hours, not even to roll over.

So that guy who pinched em all was just trying to help you really ?

Wow, I knew you liked a beer mate, but can you not just use a glass or something ? ;)

This thread is making me uncomfortable.
