Unless you have suffered it is often hard to comprehend the debilitating effect back pain can have on our lives – a fellow sufferer will understand exactly how one feels.

Try and find someone, as close to home as possible to enable you to be become e-mail friends with a goal to meeting for coffee or drink (in a public place) in the near future.
