We, of the middle and older age groups, think we have back problems! I pity the new generation - those now of school age - when they get a little older.
My granddaughter came in today lugging her back pack of books and her laptop. She's a senior this year and mentioned that she has more books than she's ever had. We got out the scale and weighed the back pack - 28 lbs! Yikes. She's 5'6" and around 125 lbs, so she's not a little girl (she's bigger than I am!), so if she's complaining about how much weight she has to lug around, I can only imagine how those little petite girls feel about it.
I hope there's a new crop of doctors specializing in back issues, because they certainly won't be lacking patients.
