Default Re: gardening back pain

My husband and I both have back problems, his is a birth defect plus he got rearended in a car accident about 3 weeks ago. He is getting shots in his back. They help take away the pain. He gets a series of 3 about every 6 months. Last year I ended up going to the hospital with my back. And in 2005 had arthoscopic surgery on my left knee. I had 2 shots in my back. Now I do everything carefully. I move pots with a small dolly that is my size. I set down to pot plants. It makes a difference how you do things. I hardly ever take any pain pills. But I am careful how I twist and move when I am working in my garden.
