Sjoe, rough day. I've seen those spasms happen before and noooo, not good at all. Regular back pain (my wife struggles with her knees) is definitely not easy to deal with at times. Can't you have it sorted out or is it due to issues beyond your control? Shame, give hubby some extra loving although I'm sure you are already :):) Oh yes, I had some lower back issues a few years ago due to carrying heavy stuff around however a few cracks and clicks at the chyro sorted me out. You need the right chyro though or else it just gets worse.
