Back pain can start from seemingly very insignificant origins and it may come from serious trauma. People should be made to be aware that small things could lead to years of backache and perhaps early retirement.
In my instance, my wife and I were visiting a friend of hers and she offered to give me a massage. My wife approved because of their friendship and because her friend had studied as a masseuse ten years before.
The massage progressed well and she kept asking me whether she was hurting me. She was not, therefore I said no. She stood on the rear of my thighs and asked again. I said no. She said that she had never massaged a white man before and that my muscles were heavier than she was accustomed to.
So, she started kicking the back of my left thigh with her heel. Again she asked if it hurt. It did not. Anyway, she finished the massage and we all had a nice evening. The next day, my left thigh was painful and I had to limp a little. This lasted a few of days and then went away.
A week later, I could hardly walk, limping badly on my left leg. That lasted a month and then my lowest disc slipped out of position. I am still suffering from a slipped or herniated disc as a result of a month of poor posture which was the result of a free massage.
That is how easily it can occur. You do something daft like wearing tight shoes; you acquire a limp and the limp so alters your posture that it throws your back out. If I had known then what I know now, I would not have limped about for a month, I would have rested up.
Take my example as a significant warning, you can get permanent back pain from the stupidest of things. A friend of mine has had back ache for thirty years and he remembers the day it happened. He was in the bathroom and twisted to his right to reach for the toilet paper.
Bang! Thirty years of back ache and early retirement.
Be very careful of lifting, pushing and manoeuvring things in general. If your job involves physical effort, be certain that your employer or supervisor shows you the safest methods of doing so. Make certain that you use the same methods at home in your private life.
A last suggestion is to remember that we are living longer than ever before, but that means that bones have been wearing out for longer. Bear that in mind, if you are getting on. You might no longer be able to do what you could do merely 10 years ago even if you are healthy.
Help your body live a longer time without injury by exercising it and giving it at least the recommended daily amounts (RDA) of vitamins that it needs to replenish itself.
