For June O:
Yes, the repeated hyperextentions are the likely cause of the fractured vertebrae (in the literature, it's called "butterfly back"). The condition of having a fractured vertebrae that has slipped out of place is called spondylolisthesis. It can be asymptomatic, and, quite possibly, it was for a while in my case (hence the mild lower back pain), until that one weird dive aggravated it. Anyway, that's why I recommend getting the x-ray- you can find out if you have the fracture and take the necessary precautions to avoid putting yourself at risk for worse pain and problems.
