Me too.
Around 22 years ago I changed the battery in our Citroen BX. Awkward lift as battery tray was on left side of engine compartment and I was up against the wall of the house. Slight twinge in back but no more. An hour or so later I bent down to put a bed time video on for kids. Whole of my back from rib cage to pelvis went into a spasm. Took about 10 minutes to straighten myself.
Nurofen and codeine provided some relief but not as much a 30mg prescription codeine I got from GP.
Occasionally effect returns.
Last Christmas Mrs B and I took caravan to Grand over Sands in South Lakes. Pegging out the awning I got back twinge - applied hot water bottle and took Nurofen Plus - all seemed OK. Next morning while undressing in campsite shower I got the full spasm thing again. Honestly thought I was going to have to shout for help - abandoned idea of shower but couldn't stand up and put my underpants on. After 20 minutes I loosened up enough to dress but was in periodic pain for remainder of break until I saw GP at home and got prescribed codeine.
