A member asked:
I have had really bad back aches for the past few months. i am a freshman in college but i have a great padded backpack. please help.

Several thoughts: Although you are using a padded backpack, it's still possible that carrying heavy textbooks may be causing back strain. Try not using the backpack for awhile and see if the pain goes away. See a physician if the pain persists.
