Country:  | Back problems are awful. The worst thing is everyone who has never had one doesn't believe how painful they are. I had one that lasted for a month and half, all the doctor did was pump me full of pain killers the entire time! That was a great month and a half...

Country:  | My dad has back problems, which were ineviotable because of wht hes been doing all his life. Theyve just given him pain killers too, and despite the fact he wanted an x-ray they said he didnt need one...He still wants one but they wont let him...
One funny thing about the whole scenerio is that some of his tablets are called "Proven retard..."

My back problems started after my tour in Iraq. I had to lean completly out the side my aicraft to watch our tail and make sure no one was trying to shoot us down from our six. I had to do that with amoured plates straped to my chest and back. I now have a slight curvature to my back that I did not have before Iraq. Eversince I have been back, I have been having back problems. A friend of mine is only 3 years older than me just had back surgery and was medically discharged from the army. All because of our job and how we had to do it.

Country:  | You have my sympathy Adler, which is more than I get from my missus when my back goes out she just calls me Quasimodo as its self inflicted.
I had an old car in the 70's and being a typical young guy thought I was strong and could take out the engine without using a hoist I got it on to the edge of the engine bay when it slipped off and instead of letting it go I attempted to hold it I felt something go ping in me back an that was that. Most of the time I'm OK but a couple of times a year it goes out and I'm doing a Charles Laughton. I get really frustrated doing things like pull on me trousers in the morning as I cant bend down nor straighten up.
Perhaps you can see your quack Adler and he can get something sorted for you with a specialist.

Country: | I would love to get mine fixed. I am waiting till I am out of the Army though next year, because I do not want to stop flying right now. I want to fly right up until I get out.
