I've thrown my back out 3 times this year so I'd say I got back problems and I'm not that old compared to you. Finally broke down after this last one last week and decided to go to the chiropractor. It has made a heck of a difference so far.
Old age is catching up

I haven't had back issues yet in life in my mid 50s. 6 ft 4 in. 312 lbs. Fat only by 25 lbs. I'm a big boy. Always have been. I believe exercise is the key. And posture. Wearing the right boots or shoes also. I wrestle heavy chains and binders on a daily basis. Get out and walk around the parking lot, It will make a difference. Do sit ups before you get out of your bunk in the morning. Exercise is the key.
wore out, cybill234, NavigatorWife and 9 others Thank this. -
I don’t know how some of the knuckleheads we have can drive like that. I need to sit up straight.
Not to mention there’s also the issue of wearing holes in your cab and seat from the seat riding against the wall. -
No no no...,!!!
That's driving a Detroit 2 stroke lol!!

That only works for 2 stroke Detroits.

Either of you ever had a two stroke? I had a few and they aren't that bad. The 238 sucked but the 318, silver92(450 if i remember right) and then of course the 12v92. I actually really liked that 12 cylinder. Sure my n14 does better with 6 holes than it did with 12 but it's also 20+ years newer.
