Lower back pain and Class 1 medicals
Hi guys,
I recently sustained a lower back injury in flight (in fast jets), and am grounded. Docs have been unable to pinpoint the cause of the pain so far, however the pain/ache happens during G onset, and I will probably be facing a reassignment due to this.
On the x-rays there seem to be no issue, and the pain doesn't come on in normal everyday life unless I bend backwards at a weird angle. I am still able to exercise/play sports with no issues with the back.
I'm just curious, will this be an issue if I apply for a civillian class 1 medical in the future (FAA/CAA/JAA or otherwise)?
