I have known some who have back problems. Some have a problem driving, others don't have more simply because they drive. It depends on the type of injury. You can stop every now and then to stretch. You can also put a small pillow behind your back. Driving is not nearly as bad on your back as when I first started driving. Most are air ride which makes the sitting much more comfortable. Before air ride most people who had been driving for any length of time suffered from back pain. It is just something that was expected. I would discuss is with my doctor before making a decision.
