I flew fighter aircraft for 25 years. Most guys who do that have back problems from all the cumulative "g" forces. Mine's just worse than others. Still, it was a really cool job and I miss it. No good deal lasts forever!

You probably have 24.5 of the top 25 life stories on this whole site. Sorry for your pain and thanks for the service. Glad you at least don't regret it.

First, Thank you for your service! Not saying this will cure all but my Mrs has one of the worst backs you have ever seen and what helps her ......and me is a really good bed. We have a Tempur Pedic and I and her swear by it!

Thanks for the input. I have a good bed and have tried chiropractors, acupuncture, TENS, and every other gizmo out there for this. I've also had 6 spinal surgeries. My flying days fuzed two of my vertebra together. Not an operation for fusion but it happened naturally from all the "g" forces. I'm resigned to my fate and await the new technology to help with the pain!

Ok, the Mrs has Scoilosis and had spine surgery that stretched her torso 3 inches , she has 3 metal rods in her back.
