34.
Pain while playing racquetball after heavy weight training. Pain resolved about 70% after a few months, then one day at work, my back just "went out"; coulkd not stand, or even move without searing horrible intense PAIN. My back went downhill every year after, bit by bit, until I could not walk and was looking at complete and total disability.
Age 46.......3 level ADR and improving month by month.
