Sir Wolf:
uggg armour is not going to be fun to wear.

Chiropractor says i may have a pinched disk in my lower back. seems i've done something at some point and have some serious issues that go from my lower back down to the backs of my knees. this along with the arthritis in my neck and previous back issues are causing me a tad bit of pain lately. not complaining mind you, just sharing and venting hehehe there is so much i want to do! but standing up just takes the energy right out of me.

Sir William:
Hey man, unlike other areas of the body, the back is...touchy, for lack of a better word.  Back problems seem to run in the family...although I am surprised because you've lost weight not gained it so if anything, your back should be thanking you.  Its picked a strange way to show it though.

Do any heavy lifting beyond fighting and re-enactments in armor?  That alone could probably have a lot to do with it.  Sucks growing old, doesn't it?

I wake up daily with aches and pains that I swear are brand new.

Sir Edward:

Yeah, back problems are not to be underestimated. As they say, you can never truly understand back problems until you have them.

The good news is you can still look like a knight by just wearing the gambeson and surcoat. :)

Sir William:
Indeed!  And you'll get that sorted out...its not like we're in our 60s, or should I say 70s, since the Marshal was still sitting a horse and leading men into battle even then!

Thorsteinn:
I feel you there.

 I have scoliosis and need to see the chiropractor after almost every tourney. Although sometimes I feel better, back-wise, after a tourney than before.

Good news is that it keeps the chiropractor entertained with new and unique problems.

Don't forget to get some firm deep tissue/ sports massage.
