My GF husband ruptured 2 discs SNEEZING, so it's definitely a final action that breaks it, and unfortunately alot of people don't realize they are close to that point. Especially in todays busy world!
I threw out my back before SNEEZING- while I was benind over to pick up something!
I also threw it out helping DH pick up a big box.
I am almost certain that my back problems stem from years ago when we used to go on our friend's speedboat and pound waves!- It was so fun- a large boat would go by and we would just- jump it's waves as it went by- full throttle-
We also used to go out into the ocean @ full throttle- THAT was not like floating on clouds- I can tell you that much!
But we were young- and having fun...and now I am old...and paying for it!
This is the very first time I ever went to the docs for my back pain. Long ago I went to a chiro- just thought it was the thing to do for back pain. I could have had herniated discs back then and never knew it. I never had an MRI of my L spine before- so I am not sure how long I could have had this! I never even went to the docs for meds when my back went out- I would just, wait it out and it always went away.
Like I told this doc today- the only reson I am following up on this is b/c my symptoms were so severe and there were so many! It was all new to me.
