It's always a little problematic to be honest; a lasting gift from years of heavy packs and equipment and abusing it. I played American football for ten years also. Didn't help. I tend to go ok though, it flares up now and then and I suffer. Other than that, I'm fighting fit. (Hmm, maybe I should just say fighting)

Make sure you keep those muscles around the injuries in good condition to support them. You need to take good care of yourself, back pain is the worst.!

Yeah, it doesn't help having some arthritis in my shoulders and shoulder-blade area but you're right. Keep the muscles strong. The G-dog is made of granite Denise, all good. Thanks though, I know you're a caring person.
