Title: Back Pain - Still not better
Post by: Lazydocker on 13 January 2011, 23:12:27
Back still isn't better... Getting really frustrated now and fed up! It's been 6 weeks now and saw the company quack today who told me I'll be off for at least another 2 weeks, probably longer :o

Now I know it doesn't sound too bad, being off on full pay, but I can't do anything! Got so much that needs doing... Car really needs an Oil and filter change and I just can't do it. Handbrake needs looking at... Again, I can't do it :'(

Unfortunately, although I made good progress for the first 2-3 weeks seeing the chiropractor I'm now frustrated at how slow the progress is, although he's not overly surprised.

Right... Feel better for a bit of a moan ;D

Sorry to hear this. :(

It'll come good in the end, though, I'm sure.

What's the problem, exactly?

I've been seeing an osteopath monthly for six months now and my back is miles better.  :y

I "slipped a disc" at the start of last month  :o Or as it's being termed on my sick certificates - Lumbar Facet Syndrome.

Don't get me wrong, it is getting better but I like to keep busy and more than about an hour and a half in any position is painful so not sleeping properly either :(

Had a meeting with HR today as well and they've just told me to take whatever time I need, up to 6 months from today :y

Can't fault them for that TBH but really frustrating! As those who've been to my house will know, we're a little remote and I don't really get any company unless I get in the car and go somewhere!

Chiropractor is going to do further investigation at the next appointment as he's a little concerned that there might be some more significant damage.

Time will tell, and heal, but I'm getting bored!

Thanks for the info.

Stay positive!  :y :y

I hear there are little blue pills to help with that, these days! ;)


I jest .. hope you recover soon, Lazydocker. A week of agony was enough for me when I did whatever it was to my back - I can't begin to imagine what it's like to have it go on longer!

i feel for you i've had tennis elbow for the past six months and whilst most things i can still do it is still limiting, being incapacitated is certainly no fun i hope it gets better soon.

I'm trying to... Been a bit down the last few days and OOF has been my lifeline! I never thought I'd say it but I actually want to go back to work! :o :o

At the end of the day though I have to be practical about it... As the doctor said today, if I go back too soon I'll end up with it going again while I'm 65+foot up in the crane and the fire service will have to get me down! Then I'll be off for at least 3 months so better to get fully fit first!

 ;D ;D ;D No problems in that department, I'm pleased to say. However the thought of hauling myself under the car to reach for the oil filter becomes more challenging as each year passes. Why, oh why, did they choose to place it there?  ;) ;D

symathise with you , bad backs are bloody nightmares. But it will get better. Personally I have found that regular gentle stretching exercises like tai-chi movements have helped . Doesnt mean I dont do mine in every now and again (mostly just through silly things when I twist the wrong way rather than lifting anything heavy) but certainly dont suffer as often or as badly as I used to so must be something in it. Know what you mean by the boredom thing though-there are only so many books you can read or so much telly you can take! Anyhow, hope you feel better soon

i did my back in last week breaking ice on the path with a heavy 5 foot pinch bar (someones borrowed the pick i guess) - havent slipped a disc or anything but its so debilitating i totally sympathise - heat packs ibuprofen and paracetamol are keeping things tolerable at the mo, but i know how frustrating it is  :(

A bottle of single malt will do the job much better - except by the morning pain will have shifted to the head  ;D

Lazdocker sorry to hear this..  :(

father suffered a similiar situation for more than a year and he is now ok.. but very hard to live like that..

4 things helped.. physicians, exercise , shark cartillage (or calf cartillage whatever you can find)  and cortisone.. but be careful about cortisone usage , its like a dual side knife.. must not be used for long periods..

wish you a quick recovery :y

a sliped disk /hemerated disk and faset joint snydrome are two total diffrent things and not the same


a sliped disck id a where the disk buges out and will press on the nerves in spinal cord



The bone surfaces of the facet joints are covered with a specialized tissue called articular cartilage. The joint is lined by a membrane called the synovium and enclosed in a fibrous sac called a joint capsule. A thick liquid (synovial fluid) surrounds the joint, allowing the bones to move without friction.

Facet joint syndrome refers to pain that occurs in the facet joints. This syndrome most often affects the lower back and neck. Lumbar facet syndrome might cause referred pain to the buttocks and thigh. Facet syndrome in the neck might cause headaches or shoulder pain.



did they do a MIR scan IF they dident the diagnosis from your doctor is a guess as they no way to tell without a MRI scan

xrays or prity much usless for diagnosing back pain

even any one ove 40 will have amnormalitys that show on a mri that may ot may not cause pain

sliped disk or rather the proper name a hemerated disk as they dont acturly slip

will show up as very dark/black compared with the good ones that are white on the mri

iv suffered with back problem due to scolliois all my life pain started bad when i was in my 20`s

last 2 years have been the worse then some thingy rear ended me car and cause even more back problems

back pain aint fun is it

opaites are your freind lol

normaly any work i do on the car needs a decent dose of codiene or morphine shortyly there after

worst time was when i woke up and pased out with my upper back and couldent move my arms for a week

was layed up for 3 weeks solid  went stir crazy neally

it took a whole bottel of johny walker black to and two pepole to get me from the living room to the bed

thease day just a walk around the shops most days requires me to take a minimum of a least 60mg of codiene
as i suffer cronic lumbar back pain, thoradic and cervical back pain

along with sianica and sholder and arm nerve pain

heat is good for pain take a couple of hot baths a day wheat bags are good for heating triger points

as for pain killers everyones different to whatworks best

best of luck back pain aint fun

Agree totally... But seems I had/have a combination of both. The Facet Joint Syndrome was what has always caused me mild-severe discomfort in the past but the "Slipped" disk is what has highlighted it... May be more serious so further investigation to be done on Monday and we'll see where it goes from there.

Unfortunately I'm not very good at doing nothing... Having had severe knee problems from age 11-16 (when it was finally operated on) I learnt at a very early age to live with pain and get on with it, hence my very high pain threshold. Starting to go a little stir crazy being at home so much but both Company Doctor and HR department have told me to go out, visit friends/the pub and generally socialise as much as I am able. Was concerned about doing this in case the "Jungle Drums" started banging at work ::)

Finally managed a good 4-5 hours sleep last night but was medicated so not sure how I'll get on tonight.

The good thing about working for a large, unionised company :y :y

At the end of the day, I have had more time off with this problem than I ever have (total) in the 6 years I've worked there so they're being reasonable. I don't normally take time off because I don't like to and would go back to work tomorrow if I were fit to :y

simular too you self i go crazy when i cant do what i want to to do

last time i poped a disk at about L5 i was so bad it was a blue light job by ambilance on gas and air

then the morons at local hospital dignosed a sliped disk as kiddy stones

and wouldent lisen to me and get some from ortopidics up so i ended up checking my self out

of course it was a disk and not kiddy stones

as for work screw that m8 take it easy dont make worse

Currently on Arthrotec (which is Diclofenac and something) as anti-inflammatory because Ibuprofen has little effect on me after taking it in a very large dose for 5 years. And Co-codamol for the pain, although I try not to take the pain killers if I can help it as it hurts for a reason and I'd rather know it hurts than mask it and make it worse ::)

Although last night it was something a little stronger I took which was lurking in the medicine cupboard :-X ::)

No consolation, but many of us know how it feels & it's bloody annoying, because of what you can't do. Neck & back are the worse injuries to have.

Hi Lazydocker,I think that you mentioned somewhere that you are a crane driver,so am I,or was for most of my working life.
It is a known fact,that crane drivers suffer from lower back problems,mainly due to be bend over at 180 degrees for most of their working day.
I myself have been in absolute hell for the the last 2 years,just keep taking the pills and don't worry about work until you are ready for it.

It looks like my problems actually stem from about 12/13 years ago when someone hit me at 30+mph when I was stationary >:(

Wouldn't mind but I had to settle my claim before I was fully healed (or thought I was ::)) because I needed the money as a deposit on my first house ::)

4 things helped.. physicians, exercise , shark cartillage (or calf cartillage whatever you can find)  and cortisone.. but be careful about cortisone usage , its like a dual side knife.. must not be used for long periods..

wish you a quick recovery :y


That would be a double-edged sword Cem. ;D :y

   She's lovely mate. (no need to tell you that) tell her to brace herself for a big bear hug next time we all meet up!
   Meanwhile rest up & recover PROPERLY. No good doing any long term damage. Guy. :y

She's bracing ::) ::)

We're looking at the Lakes meet, although we may well go for a static as it's not economically viable to drag the 'van all the way up there for a weekend. That said, I may be able to convince her we should go for the week and only go down to Plymouth for a couple of nights a fortnight later ::)

Definitely going to Newent, probably for a few extra days :y

The resting is surprisingly difficult... Just sick and tired with not being able to do anything :( :(

Cem likes to be corrected in common usage. And, as everyone knows, I am fluent in Turkish. ::)

No Six, the cervical vertebrae lie at the top of the spine closest to the skull.

The cervix is the the bottom part of the eterus where it enters the vagina.

The 'x' is the qualifying feature.

Although cervical can refer to both.  :D

Although Six already knows and was hoping to raise a giggle or two. ;D - I need to be less serious. :D :y
