@AutumnWinds53 lol - I think you're misunderstanding the bounce. You're not actually bouncing off the ball. The bounce is so gentle that you're not even coming off the ball. There's absolutely no reason you can't do that exercise, even with fibromyalgia. And it's one of the most effective exercises for a disc condition. People tell me all the time that this is one of the things that made the biggest difference for them, so don't miss out.
I don't know what I could have possibly done to injure my back. I was 14, active 100 lbs. 5'4 . I just woke up one summer morning and I couldn't move. My mom helped me roll out of bed to crawl to the tub. I have had problems ever since. My mother has had 8 discs removed, spine is fused and a rod was inserted but a year later her body rejected the rod and it was removed.
My sister, brothers and 3 grown daughters have back problems of the same my youngest is to the more extreme. Inherited??
There is definitely a genetic component to back problems, and it sounds like this is the case in your family. It's usually the curvatures of the spine that are inherited, or certain weaknesses in tissues, such as the discs, ligaments, or muscles. However, the genetic component is about 30% at most, so 70% of the problem usually comes from environmental factors - injuries, wear & tear over time, stress, chemical toxins in the body, etc.
