First my grandma had surgery to repair loose discs in her back, then my brother had springs put into his back after an injury at work. Now my back is starting to hurt alot and my hands tremble a little.

I really hope this is just a coincidence and not a curse.

It just sounds like your family has a history of joint problems to me. Mine does too.

I agree with Brackets statement...I know a whole family that has had knees done.

How old was your grandmother, and what kind of work did she do in life?

Now you said your brother injured his at his job. It doesn't mean he had a bad back before, just that he hurt it at work. This happens all the time, its the reason they have all those videos people have to watch on the proper way to lift.

Now your back hurts? Did you do anything to make it hurt? Lift anything heavy? work out? Sleep wrong? While it is possible it can be hereditary, what you have describes doesn't seem to follow that pattern. I do suggest going to the doctor if this pain continues. A back hurting can be a number of things, nerve, even a bad ankle or knee can change the way you walk so your back hurts.

I agree with Bracket- that it COULD be a history of back problems in the family, however as UglyNRude said, you'll never know unless you go to the doctors and get it checked. I'd do that if I were you- mainly because if you are in pain, you don't want that getting worse or staying with you long-term. You need to get it sorted for your own healths sake

As for a curse. . . May I ask if there is a reason you even thought it could be that? Have you met someone who said they'd cursed you or your family? Do YOU believe in curses?

Let me say here that although I am very open minded to the paranormal and believe in many things myself, I have always been skeptical of curses. I feel that curses are simply a playground for our psychological well-being.... Someone says "You are now cursed" and then that person suddenly feels that every bad feeling or bad event just must be due to that... I don't personally have faith in curses.

What I say to you is, even if someone put a curse on you, they have no power over you - but they are already winning by having you worry about it.

I'd say it's just a health problem, coincidental to your brother and Nans issue.
Keep us updated.

I think you are the best Fiona, that is so right. I know that there are a lot of things that we can't explain, but I agree about a lot of things boil down to if a person tells you something you will believe it.
We went to the lake this week and my daughter had a spider get on her and all day I thought one was crawling on me.
I know sometimes things can keep going wrong one after another, you start to think this. I have thought the same, or I will say bad luck comes in three's, then you are done... So you are done. Now get ready for all the good things to happen, in your life. I just know things are about to turn around... I am so sorry about all your family's problems. Sometimes that helps to here some concern I know it does me. And I mean it... Things are going to get better... Mel

JKA you may just be having phantom (for want of a better word) pains, you are worried and strange things happen to our bodies when we worry. I think when you heard that your brother hurt his back you thought of your gran put 2 and 2 together and got 5, you know what i mean?

Now Im not saying you dont have back pain, all im saying is you may just be worring SO much that you actually think your back is sore ( i hope you can understand what im trying to say) Fiona and UNR have giving you good advise, no hex just, things happen....

Hope your gran and brother are both getting better, back pain is horrible.

I do think that this is a coincidence,there are a lot worse things around you so i wouldn't worry if I was you.For example my friend lost in less then one year her mum,dad and brother.Mum died of cancer,dad hit by a car,and brother had an accident on the work.So she is also thinking that somebody put the curse on her family.She even called some medium but they just took her money,so sometimes it is hard to find an explanation for some things.

there was a time when i thought that i was cursed. Maybe i was, maybe i wasnt. The conclusion that i have come up with is this.

Do you believe in curses, or dont you???? We all have problems, we all go through difficult times in our lives. Is this a curse? or not?

I have decided, if i believe that it is a curse, it will be , if i believe that it is just life as life is, it is not a curse. I have chosen the latter.

Go deep into your heart and soul and decide for yourself. Its up to us if we want to live with negative or positive. You know, the glass half empty or half full.

Beware of those who always talk about the negative, because, this can cause you harm.

I have come to the conclusion!!!! I have listened and talked to so many people in my life, the i am learning that i can either take in the negative or the positive. This is a personal decision.

I am at the point now in my life that i have decided to take in the positive, once you do this, and stick to this ,you will be able to spot the negative a mile away.

I have to ask, why would you even think that you are cursed????? It all comes down to, who has power over you???? Is it you, or, are you giving someone else power over your being?

Just some things to think about........

The way i look at it is there are some people we are around in our lives that are such negative energy vampires that we feel cursed.And as i get older and hopefully smarter i will have enough sense to run from such type individuals which in a lot of cases in the past i didn't
And it hardens your heart and mind to a good person that my come along
