lower backache!!!!!

You may have even been born with this condition and just aggravated it when you hyperextended. I've had the condition since I was about 7-8 years old and my back would go "out" (which is also the SI joint moving around). When I was 11-12--it was diagnosed by an ortho -- but we did nothing except get me out of gym classes. As an adult--about 5-6 years ago I was having back problems and I was sent for a bone scan to see if I had ever had a stress fracture in the spine OR currently had one. No trace of a fracture. However, when I took some x-rays, from 1988, to an orthopedic surgeon as part of a packet of information (including an MRI) for my herniated disk--he spotted the spondy problem right off the bat. Wanted to do the surgery on that BUT I knew this pain was different from what I'd experienced before---it WAS the herniated disk. However, now, a year later I'm having some mild lower leg and foot problems and we're not sure (yet) if I've got scar tissue OR re-herniated the disk!
