I read this article that was pretty interesting. Back injuries which include sprains and strains, are the number one disability for people under the age of 45. It is estimated that 80% of the population will experience an episode of low back pain some time in their lives. 5% of which will go one to develop chronic low back pain, and that account for about 10% of all chronic health conditions in the U.S.
I know many people who have back pain all the time and the main problem is when lifting, they use their back to lift instead of their knees. If your knees are in bad shape and you do not use them to lift weight then you probably should not. Be lift anything anything heavy in the first place.
