I have never thrown my back out. But I do have quite a bit of lower back tenderness, if not outright pain. Found out with the birth of baby #3, when they were giving me the epidural (she was supposed to be the last baby, so I opted, for the first time, for pain relief!) that my lower spine is slightly curved.
The epidural went without incident, then a year later, with surprise! You weren't done having babies after all! Baby #4, the curvature had changed enough that the anesthesiologist tried 4 times to place the epidural. (Clearly, it was a huge relief the last time around, and I don't know why every woman doesn't do it!)
They were so concerned about sticking me that many times, the next morning, the head of the anesthsia dept visited me in my room and opened by saying, "So here is the victim." I was completely confused and thought they had me mixed up with some other patient, and they were going to try to take me for some kind of surgery. I said, "No, no! I only had a baby!" He laughed. Apparently they were thinking my head would be ready to split from a migraine from all the epidural tries. (Which, by the way, didn't help much with the pain this time. Never did get it placed well enough to be efficient.) Anyway, long story short, (too late!) he was just checking on me for potential side effects. Never had any, though.
That curvature does cause me some pain, but so far, has not locked up on me.
Well, you're not completely alone...why do you think I waited until baby #3 to try it? I just thought it would be completely impossible to hold completely still while in labor so someone could stick a needle into my spine. And, I knew what it looked like, having watched my sister get hers when my nephew was born.Shudder to that story, CAT.
When I go to the doctor's office they are always amazed at the yellow streak running up my back. I'm such a chicken......LOL

Reason #212 as to why I will never have childrenIn the effort to do something about slowing down the world population growth, perhaps we ladies should start a labor horrors thread. I've got a couple. Seriously, though, I'm amazed women have more than one child after that sort of experience. There must be some sort of amnesia chemical that's released into our systems along with the endorphins immediately following childbirth.

Reason #213.....The eoisiotomy alone is a horror. Those dahm stitches hurt, itch and I was sure I was gonna pop mine. (I told the story where my bestest friend popped her stitches and the wall between front and back tore.)
I'll be watching the national news to see if I can spot you then....I do sashay around the house, but never indoors.............

Ya gotta watch out for drones, they're not as loud or as big as the choppers, therefore alot better at sneaking up on you when you least expect it.....I did have a chopper hovering over the other day. Fortunately I was just walking the dog........

I'm assuming you're using an I-Pad stone tablet to type on, right?Well, I feel fairly safe. NH is a little behind the times. Rumor has it we might get our first "talkie" by Memorial Day.
