How quick things can go horribly wrong

[bigpaul]

when my dad did his back in he was told to put boards in the bed and sleep on them, but that was an extreme case and it was in the 70's, when i did my back in it was in 1985 and i did it doing gardening-self employed, i was actually taking out a big hedge roots and all and i must have over done it! dont know to this day what i did but it was bloody painful , i could lie down, i could stand up but i couldnt sit down! and i was like that for some time, this is what started my Osteo Arthritis which i still have and will always have. so i DO know what your going through NR by personal experience.
