You're probably not
you probably have terrible posture and are likely to suffer increasing problems as you get older. You should go and see a physio.

It could be that
Or it could have been the fact that the day before I had been power kiting for the first time in ages, and spent all day doing tricks involving my torso being pulled about in very strange ways. Couple that with a 400 mile drive and a lot of games of pool having been played, I think the cause is more likely an accumulation of things.

My back gives me periodic problems
Had an attack of it last year, saw a physio a few times. It basically got better itself (although she was immensely hot) but has never been 100% since.

Had an recurrence 6 weeks ago, tried an osteopath. After the first visit it was 10 times worse. He said that sometimes the muscle reacts badly to the treatment. I kept persevering and then my sciatic nerve became inflamed. I couldn't even sleep at night - even on the full dosage of painkillers. I'm slowly getting better but still going once a week, but he doesn't even charge me now because he knows that he actually made things worse.
