I used to play basketball nearly everyday for years on concrete playgrounds. I do have backpain but probably because I still played into my late 30’s. It all seems overblown to me.
Don’t you think it is possible that some people are more susceptible to certain types of injuries rather than that it’s just overblown? You are one of the lucky ones perhaps.
I consider myself one of the lucky ones, as I have had no major medical issues so far — thank God!
