I did, and I'd shrunk just over 1/4 of an inch over the course of a long day. Apparently it is this same process that contributes to astronauts lower back pain when they go into space. Basically because there is no gravity, all the discs keep absorbing, and stretch the nerve out, and they get reasonably bad back pain. There are other things at play as well, for instance all of your core muscles relax because there is no gravity, and then you can get misalignment of some vertebrae in the lower back which also contributes to the pain. Cheers Matt Hi Daniel,
