Spine surgery is no joke, but not going to lie, glad to hear surgery was for a disc and not something else. Time to let your son do the heavy lifting around the house. Get well soon, Vinny.
I've been hearing a bunch of back related issues around me lately. Please everyone remind yourself to have a good posture. Not saying that that would've stopped this, no idea, but having a good posture is important, and stereo-typically video games are the antithesis of a good posture.
@kaname: I think maybe a lot of the back pain is due to how much sitting we do as a culture.
I’m currently on a journey toward realizing just how much the average American is destroying their body. Our bodies were made to move. In every direction. So if you ARENT, you’re basically mistreating your body. It’s not a matter of not being a “jock”, it’s killing yourself. Specifically, your body was made to squat. Squatting should be as comfortable as standing or sitting. It is in other cultures. But Americans are so into “efficiency” and “economy” that we put everything at counter level so that you have to move as little as possible to do anything. I even saw a new pair of shoes that self-tied, promising that “you never need to bend over again”.
If you have ANY trouble bending over or squatting, that’s your body already giving you the warning cry for help.
