You bend down to pick something up off the floor\u2014a towel, a toy, nothing out of the ordinary\u2014and as you stand back up, your lower back gives you a sharp twinge. Or maybe there wasn\u2019t any heroic move involved: you\u2019ve simply had a dull ache for weeks that just won\u2019t go away. Welcome to one of the most crowded clubs on the planet.
