I've just been to this link and taken the lower back pain quiz and thought some of you may be interested...................... just a bit of fun see how you score
I got 12 - just got the percentage of herniated discs wrong, like you I've suffered since early age, I think I had my first problem when I came off a pony at about 9 and it's been fun, fun, fun since then
Ooh! I got 85% - 11 out of 13 correctly answered. And it appears from the quiz that I have kyphosis - curvature of the spine. If anyone calls me 'humpback' I'll scream!!! I've been 'round shouldered' since I was a child...thought to have been because I was taller than most kids my age and I compensated by making myself shorter! Still can't work that out.....
Shame really isn't it, that we know so much about back pain? XX
Hehehehehe. only cos I listened at back school after my prolapsed disc. Interestingly the physio nurse had other ideas to the consultant. She later proved right
I got 10 too, some quite interesting facts I never knew. I have spondylolithesis, not as interesting as it sounds, just one vertebrae slipping down on top of another. (ouch) Unfortunately it comes with age and can't be cured.
