had a catastrophic back sprain, 30? years ago, 4wheeling alone in southern NH. the thing looked easy enough to move. wound up on my back, alone, in the middle of nowhere. took a long time to get myself back in my truck, find some tylenol (almost useless for this) & head home. had to cell call Wifey so she could help me in the house. at one point had to get out of bed to use the bathroom & sneezed while standing unsupported. thought my eyes were going to pop out of my head, the pain was so extreme. couldn't even make it to a Drs office the next day. Dr called in a cpl muscle relaxers for Wifey to go get. now my back is prone to back strains & over the years have had several bad ones requiring pharmaceuticals. I have no physical limits & I stay in shape w/ weight training & stretching

but word to the wise, don't bend over at the waist & lift something very heavy & certainly don't try to move something very heavy while hunched over. it could lead to a lifelong injury
