Lower back problems seem to haunt my company. In 03' I had two blown disc and one torn. The spine surgeon said I had the back of a 60 year old man... not good when you're 35. I went under the knife and came out with good results. That meaning I was able to return to work but have never regained entire strength nor feeling in my left leg.
My workers have been plagued with the same problems but none have had to have surgery. But flair ups happen all the time on the job and their time will come too.
And you may ask what was my doctors advice.. quit bending over and dont pick up anything heavy. Easier said than done in this trade.
