    Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

    Be careful Guys.....After Lifting and moving too much...even with Equipment, my back went out last year.
    3 back surgical procedures later, I am better by alot, but likely going in for my 4th.
    I cant lift anything more than 15 pounds now.
    Hire others...ending up like me isnt worth it.

    2008...I was moving a heavy Bally and blew my back out. I was in bed for 7 weeks. I was scheduled for surgery and met a NovaCare physical therapist. At that time, I couldn't stand for long periods and driving was definitely out. Mr. Fred Schwint (NovaCare) took me through the gauntlet of stretching and strength conditioning. He saved my life. No surgery. I sometimes have twinges, but I do my stretches and walk 5-10 miles a day. I can lift my machines again and I body surf and have no restrictions. I was lucky. I hope your situation continues to improve. When I need to transport a game that I either purchased or sold, I hire young bucks. That never hurts my back!
