A retrospective study covering a period of 10 years was performed in 221 patients
suffering from reccurent lumbar painful syndrome. All patients were asked
to complete a questionnaire. The study group i.ncluded 124 men (65.2%) and 97 women
(43.8%). The mean age of patients at the time of the first attack was 31.1 years
with a range of 15 to 60 years, the oorresponding figures for the last! attack being
48.9 years with a range of 25 to 80 yeaTs. The mean interval between the first and
the last attack was 17 .l years. The highest recurrence rate wa-s observed in those
aged 40 to 44 years (28% of patients). Disc herniation was found in 4.5% of patients,
whereas 36.6% developed lumbo-sciatica. Degenerative changes in the form of osteochondrosis
or discarthorsis were established in 80% of patients. In 50% of them
osteochondrosds affected the L 5 - S1 segment. The remaining 20% had congenital
abnormalities and static deformit'ies of the lumbar spine. Over the 10-year period
studied 83% of patients stayed off work for an average of 28 months per patient or
2.6 months per year. Only 2.7% worked part-time. 10% were forced to change their
