I finally had a day where my back didn't ache at all last Thursday

It was wild. I woke up, got out of bed, and didn't have that normal stiffness in my lower back. No popping or creaking when I bent over to tie my shoes. I actually went for a 3 mile walk in the park near my apartment in Portland and my hips didn't complain even once. Later that afternoon I helped a buddy move a heavy couch up three flights of stairs and felt totally fine after. Usually I'm wrecked for days after stuff like that. My wife even said I was smiling all day which is rare for me. Has anyone else just had one random pain free day after dealing with something chronic for years?

@jamie712 pretty much nailed it with the weather thing. Barometric pressure shifts mess with my back too, so it might be that random alignment. Enjoy the good day while it lasts and don't overthink it lol.

Oh man, that's awesome but I gotta say... Portland in the spring doesn't usually give you a full day like that. The weather's been all over the place lately with that rain and then sun thing we do. I've had a couple of those random good days with my knees over the years, but they always seem to happen when the barometric pressure is just right or something. Like I remember one time I woke up feeling great and thought I was cured, but then the next day I could barely get out of my chair. Hope yours lasts longer than mine did though.
