A friend of mine has been suffering from lower back pains for many years & after breathing down his neck for a few years, was I able to get him to consult a doctor last year. After some x-rays & questioning, the doctor told him that he was born with a missing vertebral column (or something to that effect) and told him to never again ride a motorbike & not lift weight of more than 1 pound max. He was also told that nothing else could be done since this is a birth defect & he would have to live with this condition. Some painkillers were prescibed, but my friend's problem has not been solved. He still suffers from severe pains at times, he cannot sit straight for even half an hour at a stretch, neither can he walk much. He has taken a second opinion, but it was the same diagnosis... Will he have to live like this forever?
