I've had chronic lower back pain, scyiatica (sp??) for the past 7 years. I had been attributing it to poor posture, lifting my young kids (lowering a kid in the crib hurt like hell), bad mattress, overweight.....
I saw a few doctors , they prescribed meds, pain went away and then would come back a few weeks or months later. Strangely it always affected me in the spring to early winter.
So this year I went from fishing the surf to fishing from a boat...........NO back pain until I ventured into the surf again in the fall. I am 100% certain that wading on rocks in the surf is what brings on the back pain. I think its the way I balance against the waves or something.
