    Most of my back pain comes from arthritis. I need to keep going physically--walking, exercising, etc. to keep from having more pain. Over the years I have lost 2 to 3 inches in height, from 6ft. 1 to 5ft 10 or even less now at age 81.

    My back pain stems from tearing my cruciate ligament which the doctors refused to repair because they would not believe that it was the cause of my back pain. I have been gradually improving over the last ten years.
