back in business

Thanks, thetyreman.

And agree 100% with what you said in your OP. You may be cured, but there's NO guarantee that the cure is permanent, so "be careful out there kids" (of ALL ages)!

had a really bad back, needed some quite heavy manipulation from an osteopath, after 2 sessions it feels amazing now but just a warning to you all, be careful lifting and doing woodworking kids, don't be silly like me, look after yourself! (hammer) :ho2

Good advice, I managed to prolapse a disk a couple of months ago now, lifting something I've lifted dozens, if not hundreds of times before - not a lot of fun (and an early warning of how it could be in later years). I also know a lass who's been suffering for years with back issues, despite being slim but tall - 6'2", still not right after two ops.

I now keep a velcro support brace in the car, so it's always on hand.
