Sounds like a recipe for disaster doesn't it ?. I've had load of back problems over the years - needing steroid injections and more recently nerve ablation to keep the pain under control. OA of the facet joints and bulging discs have shown up on various scans.
Brother in law who is a PT suggested I start doing dead-lifts - I nearly spat my beer out laughing ! . He offered me a free PT session -(on the proviso I could be at the gym at the crack of dawn !!!)
He went through the technique with all the checks to make sure I was lifting correctly - and to my utter amazement the pain subsided pretty rapidly over the next couple of weeks. I've been doing them 2 or times a week for about 5 weeks now. I won't claim its a miracle cure as my back pain has a habit of coming back with a bang when I least expect it.
Just thought I would share in case it helps anyone else.
