53m here.

Get into a work out routine. Particularly one that keeps your core strong. Back issues are just a few years away.

I am sitting here with a disk bulge between L4 and L5 and the bulge hits my sciatic nerve perfectly. My right leg has felt asleep for two years now and I’ve had to take gabapentin every day to keep the pain away. It’s a very minor bulge and non-operable, it just in the exact wrong spot.

Don’t let that happen to you.
