Oh, and I noticed that another poster said that back problems are caused by tight hamstrings . . . not necessarily true. It is the case that tight hamstrings and back problems often go hand-in-hand; however, correlation does not necessarily imply causation. And my hamstrings are not tight.
Try reading again... I said "sometimes". No one else mentioned the possibility, so I did. (Until recently, I certainly didn't know that sometimes back pain is caused by tight hamstrings.)
Just like no one mentioned the possibility that it could be something more serious like a fractured vertebrae, so you brought it up.
