Crack cocaine is a good start :tongue:

Seriously it fookin hurts dont it

nobody has any sympathy cos they cant see anything wrong! grrrr

Don't lie on a soft bed your back needs good firm support. Cann't help with the boredom know what's that's like damaged by back so badly 3 days before I got married I nearly ended up in a wheelchair for the rest of my life.

 

You must remain as still and untwisted as poss if you want to have a brilliant wedding day. All the best

laying on the floor is best, and angle the mirrors so you can watch tv, i also have a very large collection of stimulating videos to keep you amused

i'm off work with bad back too

welcome to my world of self pity!!!!!!!!

argh i hate it. i once woke up in severe agony, had to crawl out of bed and around the house on my knees!! still, drove to work (feck knows why!). went to chiropractor after work said i shouldn't be there and it turned out i'd popped out a rib in my sleep!!!

 

literally every little movement (neck, head, fingers!!!) hurt. its crazy how everything links up to cause ultimate amounts of pain! all i was doing was sleeping :D

welcome to my world of self pity!!!!!!!!

 

 

thank's for the welcome :dance:

try acupuncture - was a miracle cure for me

 

my pain was caused my all the muscles knotting up - trigger points

 

stick a needle in them and they just seem to disolve away.

we've a family friend who does that, think i willl def give it a whirl

seems a bit hocus pokus but works for a lot of people

they gave me valium last time my back went, man was the best week of my life

Position a TV, DVD, hifi, kettle, mini-fridge, books and wireless laptop within reach of bed, then just get settled! :)

 

I survived for 2 weeks that way. Only thing missing was a supply of pot-noodles.

accupuncture is fantastic!! my mum does it for bad backs and it really does work!

;) ah yes, the old 'bad back, can't work' one. Nudge, nudge ;)

 

 

Seriously, Diclofenac / Voltarol was the way forward when mine was bad.
