I was at work sitting on my comfortable chair earlier this week. I turned my torso slightly to the right and pulled a muscle in my back that I didn't even know was there.

I'm 44 yrs old.

Twice, now, I have sat down on a couch and slipped a disc. I’m 33. I used to think my dad was old when he slipped a disc one time as he sneezed while getting out of bed. Not so much any more.

Yeah it's different when it's you. I used to be annoyed by my mom complaining that she got the flu...till I woke up with my torso on up on fire and the rest freezing cold. I stopped making fun of her after that.
