I'm A "D".
Once long ago I has spasms that were probably due to loading
cantilopes in boxcars. Couldn't afford a doctor, so just used somekind
of horse lentiment and kept going. If I could have afforded Rushes
doctor I could have made it as a chikenhawk.
I have read that the best back maintence program is the missionary
postion practiced as offen as possible.

Just on a weird hunch, it seems like there have been several initial and
sympathetic posts about slipped disks, degenerate disks, muscle spasms, etc
as of late. I'm wondering if there is any sort of seasonal element to this,
so just for ****zengrins, can I get some posts from folks who fall into
either of these categories (no pun intended):

A) Currently experiencing back pain, with a history of recurrent pain.
B) Currently experiencing back pain from a trauma (like a 3/4 Reid with a
half twist), but who don't have a history of back troubles.
C) Not experiencing back pain currently, but with a history of it.

Just for the record, put me in category A, as of Sunday afternoon. Damn, I
really HATE it when my back is out. :-(

PS. And to hell with you lucky guys in category D: Never had it, don't now.
