Maybe, but what shocks me is how many people have back and knee pain that are overweight and cant figure it out. I got fat at one point in my mid thirties. Some where over 175 lbs my knees were KILLING me. As soon as I lost the weight and my legs went back to normal the pain stopped. So I'm convinced most peoples issues are from being fat and not getting exercise.

You have to squeeze your butt muscles everyday if you have back issues. There are exercises, some similar to Yoga, that can help tremendously. If you're fat and out of shape, this is going to be a price you pay. You have to really be careful, because the older you get the easier the fat goes on.

And No soda. If you drink Soda, forget it, more than Doctor told me that stuff is pure poison for your bones. Drink chilled teas. My current Doctor is a JCOLDS vegetarian who believes Milk and dairy is poison, this is a mainstream Dr. When he told me they were lying to sell meat and dairy, I knew he was the Doc for me! I found him randomly to at one of the local Hospitals.
