Seems fairly rare to hear of someone having a knee, etc that bothers them for years provided it’s been properly treated. But hear about “bad backs” that people fight for decades.

Lots of people ELI25 instead of 5. So here is my very basic understanding from my spinal doc, when he explained it to me like I was five.
Your back has a ton of bones, nerves, etc. That are super important to how you function. Because there is so many of them so close together. Problems can often be hard to track down, and even after you find out what the problem could be – treatment can be long and painful at best, or dangerous at worst.
TL;DR – Lots of bones that are super important super close together makes it a minefield.
