Can Prolonged Backpacking With Heavy Load Cause Hiatal Hernia?
I have bad heart burn caused by haital hernia. For a decade I wore a 60+ pound backpack. This caused osteoarithis in both knees from bending down to bait traps, jumping from rock to rock. Could my position as a field biologist who carried up to 80 pound backpack under my job position get a hiatial hernia?
