Gary, sorry to hear it....what exactly is the issue? Do everything you can to strengthen those trunk muscles! Physical therapy can really do wonders.... and I don't want to get all swami on you, but have you ever tried yoga? I know I'm going to catch it because most folks don't think its very manly, but after about five years of loading cargo in cramped airplanes I was in pain all the time.... I took up yoga and the flexibility, strength and pain reduction has been huge. When I get busy and slack off on the yoga I can feel things back there going south.... I blew it off for about two months at the end of last year (just got lazy) and Christmas day.. whamo!! Did it cleaning out the wood box... I had to crawl into the house on all fours and I couldn't even stand/walk to get to the bathroom, I had to crawl.. slowly. In a week and a half, I could get around on crutches, then a few days after that I was hobbling on my own.
Needless to say, I'm going to do everything I can so THAT doesn't happen again. For a while there, I thought the injury was permanent.
