Been there! If you are in a lot of pain it's codeine phosphate time, and a tall vase held by your partner. Too late now but it's a good idea to do back exercises every morning. I haven't had problems since. Hope you are back on your feet soon.

ooh not good.

 

Do you get back problems in general, or is this just a one off? .

 

 

 

Im stuckin the recovery position!Ev,I hurt it a few years ago,this is the1st time since that its gone this badly.

Who put you there?  tries not to laugh as i really feel your pain, as the same happened to me once.

You need doc or something to ease it. Massage? I wonder if it is a trapped nerve, when i trapped  a nerve in my neck i had to take codeine and something else combined that had me on the ceiling for 2 weeks

 

I bet you can't even climb into the bath

 

*Tries not to make you laugh as well*

 

I got myself here! .

 

I have to laugh or I'd cry!!.

 

 

I know the feeling very well  it's a bugger getting to the loo, does anyone you know have spare crutches? Believe me it does help...I used to loan some of my dad who needed them permanently 

I hope the title of the thread isn't an invitation, given the pain you're in!

 

I hope your back improves quickly

Can you post a link to some good back exercises .......................I've been OK for a few weeks but when it kicks in back pain is a nightmare. I'd like to know what's good prevention 

I would have to describe 'em soozy. Originally a print out off the net lost long ago. I lie on my back, draw my feet towards me, as near as i can to my bottom, soles to the ground, knees together pointing up. Then touch or try to touch the ground in turn with your knees together either side of your body. I do that 200 times. I lie on my back, legs straight together, then in turn stretch each leg keeping it straight, together with the other one, so the foot is moving away, it's best if your feet are say six inches from a wall and you are trying to touch it in turn with the sole of each foot. I'm hopeless at describing!! This is for my lower back pain.

I think I get the picture - I may give it a go as I suffer with lower back problems too.

 

Actually (although you describe it well) I may have got it completely wrong . I hope you're well insured - there could be a lawsuit if I end up in traction!

Cycling is good!

The Dorn Method is magic! http://www.dornmethod.co.uk/Do...r-Spinal-Column.aspx

Programme  of exercises to do daily to keep the back in alignment.It's really effective!

Doesn't help zazz just now though  

I got drugs from on-call doc.Some diazepam&diclofenac,eased a bit!

Glad it's not so sore. Get better!

cheers!x

Sorry to hear about your back Zazz The doc gave me diazepam  when my back went out, I think it helped relax the muscles and stop the spasms.... whatever, it worked a treat Hope it soon get better...

cheers!

Baz!x

A couple of years ago, I pulled muscles in my back and it was absolute agony.

You have my sympathy, Zazz - I hope it gets better soon.

Thanks,pills are helping now

You have my sympathy, its a painful thing

 Still, look at it this way Zazz, it gets you off sink duty for a few days
