  David Cameron reveals he is suffering from protruding disc in his back
  
  Prime minister says condition has prevented him from hunting deer while on his usual summer holiday
  
  on island of Jura
  
  The British prime minister, David Cameron, described his bad back as a 'bore'.
  
  David Cameron is suffering from a "phenomenally bad back", which he describes as "a bore" that
  
  has stopped him deer hunting.
  
  Speaking during his holiday on the island of Jura in Scotland, the prime minister revealed he was
  
  diagnosed with a protruding disc after a medical scan. He is not sure what caused the problem and
  
  may have to undergo an injection after the pain did not ease for a week.
  
  In previous years Cameron has stalked the island's famous red deer, but he told the BBC that he
  
  now cannot crawl through the heather because of his bad back and prefers to walk.
  
  "I've got this terrible back but I've had a scan so I know what it is - it's a protruding disc," he said.
  
  "I could have got this injection last week but I just thought I'd wait, give it a little bit of time. We'll
  
  just see if it eases up a bit." Cameron said a doctor had told him he is in "reasonable shape" and
  
  generally "in good nick".
  
  "But this thing has happened, which is a bore," he added.
  
  He denied his decision not to stalk deer this year was anything to do with controversy surrounding
  
  hunting, saying it is one of the most "defendable" field sports.
