Yes, I have a bad back, too.
When I was in college I was in a bad car wreck. I was riding in the passenger's seat of a 1969 Mustang. I had the seat belt on but not the shoulder harness. (they were 2 different belts back then). We hit a tree going about 60 MPH. As you can imagine, my body went forward with great force causing severe compression of the front of my lower back. I cracked two vertebra (L2 & L3).
Sometimes my back will just "go out" for doing nothing particularly stressful...I just catch it wrong or something.
It is VERY PAINFUL! It also seems to take forever to heal when that happens.
Having a really good desk chair and a good bed seems to help avoid problems.
