i sneezed and it triggered a muscle spasms on my lower back that led to me being stuck in bed for two weeks.
it would happen again a year or so later when i reached for a glass of water and again; another year or so later; when i tripped on uneven pavement.
Lower back pain is so crippling. As I get older I'm starting to get lower back issues and it's brutal. If I don't sit correctly (i.e. leaning on one side on the couch) for just a couple of minutes, the pain is unbearable when I get up.
it started happening once i've reached middle age and i've been able to mitigate it heavily by switching to more supportive footwear and better ergonomics for work.
