[Today 11:04 PM] Ross86: haha [Today 11:03 PM] Ross86: weird [Today 11:01 PM] Pitysister: except for an uncle...but he married in [Today 11:01 PM] Pitysister: i am glad i have no history of it in the family [Today 10:57 PM] Pitysister: yeah his dad has had a couple of back surgeries too...sucks. [Today 10:56 PM] Ross86: but he did it when he was about 35 [Today 10:56 PM] Ross86: it sucks though...my dad has the same problem..in the same place [Today 10:55 PM] Ross86: that's what happens with most people...they put lots of small stress fractures in the disc and it gets really weak. then one day...BOOM! you're screwed and in bed for a few weeks [Today 10:54 PM] Ross86: i see [Today 10:54 PM] Pitysister: he has a flat lower back though...no arch...not sure if that didn't help or what... [Today 10:54 PM] Pitysister: i think his back was sore before...but lifting a bunch of cement blocks at work really set it off..that's when the real pain began... [Today 10:53 PM] Ross86: how did he tear his? [Today 10:53 PM] Ross86: ruptured disc (L5,S1) [Today 10:53 PM] Ross86: haha that's too bad [Today 10:52 PM] Pitysister: what was wrong with yours? [Today 10:52 PM] Ross86: i'm hoping that by the time i need it (if i need it), then the technology will be better [Today 10:52 PM] Pitysister: i was just gonna get him started on...working out like a man free weights and no isolations. [Today 10:52 PM] Ross86: yeah. and i'm not a fan of the disc replacement surgery because they have a tendency to not work well [Today 10:52 PM] Pitysister: i hope so too [Today 10:52 PM] Ross86: that sucks though...hope he ends up being alright
