A quick update. It has been months since I posted on this blog, probably because I have felt no pain or had any real news or comment to post. Over the last couple of days, I had pretty much pin poinyed lower back pain. Naturally, so many fears came to mind.
What I then realized is that because I was waking up early in the morning and sitting down on the sofa with my laptop on the side handle, with my body at a slightly twisted angle. This was the reason for the sudden bouts of pain. As soon as I stopped this over the last couple of days, the pain simply disappeared.
Just a reminder for everyone : Sitting is the new smoking. Sitting for long periods (more than 1/2 hour at a time at your desk), sitting in awkward positions all cause pain. Watch out for that.
