The spine is rather resilient, but when it’s damaged its sturdiness disappears in the mind of its owner.

The Sense of Fear
Fear itself makes sense. If you have pain with something, you try to avoid that something like shuffling paper in a way that you get a paper cut or bending a certain way that elicits leg pain. If you suffer with back pain when you move, you try not to move like that to avoid back pain. Avoiding back pain-provoking activity for a Sitka back pain sufferer wanting to protect his or her damaged back makes good sense.
