But every once in a while, just like OP, I'll bend over to pick something up off the floor or ground, and the ol' back just locks up. It is almost always a very simple movement that brings the most severe and longest lasting acute pain.

It's a cruel world out there, guys. Hope your pain passes quickly, OP!
I feel for you and the people that have chronic back issues. Fortunately for me, it's only happened a few times but each time it was just like you said, a simple movement. It really stiffened up last night while sleeping but feels better after getting up and moving around.

Ibuprofen a few times a day and a hot bath usually speeds up my getting back to normal. Good luck!

It's been almost 30 years since I blew my back out. Since then, I think I've only had about 4 times that my back has flared up. For me, it's a weird twist. I have some arthritis that makes my back stiff at times. I'm finding out that I have a hard time touching my toes anymore.

In the midst of a flare up as we speak. Have had bronchitis for the past week and a half and all the coughing has me sore everyplace.

Getting old ain't for the meek, my friends.

Had an MRI a year ago....degenerative disk disease, 3 bulging disks in my lower back. Someday I'll look back on now and remember these as the good old days when I could still do stuff. :shakes head:

My brother just blew his knee out. He was carrying a ladder. Slipped on some ice, and twisted funny. He's 73. But looks like he's 60.

Had the back attack myself.

Last year ripped a bicep tendon!?! What the hell.....all these years I've been working out and my tendons aren't worth $hit.

I torn the tendon off the bone when I did mine year and a half ago. Got a nice scare on my right elbow. I'm about 75% back in strength.

Both of my knees have torn meniscus. Was getting syn-vis shots in my left knee.

Me thinks our friend Rusty needs to never leave home without the bailing wire and duct tape.....and not for his car either.
