At what age were you when you first injured your back? I am just curious I guess. I don't think this question has been addressed before and just looking to compare.
I'll go first. I was 30 years old. |
I injured my back when I was 21 years old. I'm getting my disc replaced with a Charite at L4-5 this Tuesday, October 4th, by Dr. James Yue. I'm turning 23 on October 27th, so in a sense, I'm getting a Charite for my birthday.

I was 19 -- walking to the door in my college apartment, and I just fell down in a heap. My back just gave out. I was so scared, had no idea why that would happen. Little did I know how bad it would progress in the years to come!
Thank heaven for Charite!!! |

After years of suffering with a bad back, I was 43 when I ruptured S1-L4.

This is kind of a fun comparison... My L5/SI was decimated in a physical restraint training exercise when I was 34, just 5 days shy of my 35th birthday (I prefer hurtjay22's birthday present). Prior to the injury I had no back pain or complaints.

Age 41. No prior history of back problems. Started tae-bo excercises and some gardening one weekend after a dreadfully long winter and tax season. Had minor back ache. 3 days later, bent down to put shoe on, and it shot down my leg - that was the beginning that hasn't yet seen an end.
