Three months still sore, I am now having adverse reactions to most painkillers, I am off the prescribed ones as they caused horrible mood swings, and Ibuprofen is causing tingling limbs.

Doctors all they did is refer me to a physiotherapist, with no idea when I will get an appointment.

I am now getting really depressed.

I am struggling to lift things, needed help with a 25kg potato sack to get in the boot, as I could not knee bend it.

Can't lean over, too much pain, only really comfortable seat is the settees, but car isn't too bad, office chair

I now don't know what to do, I thought I would have completely recovered by now, and the worst thing is I am putting on weight again.

I even have difficulty doing a certain thing so had to swap over

Sorry about this but I am fed up and need some cheering up.

chiroprator?

obviously, you'd have to be gay, but some people swear by it.


Personally, I'm a big believer in a bit of pain never hurt anyone...

as the age gets older the human body need longer time to recover..

probably you need some phsical therapy if you want to recover

quickly..

14 weeks or so is long enough believe me it is not so much the continual pain but the extra pain if I pull it, about a month ago I tweaked and went back to first weeek pain.

Gay - you have seen the proof against , and I still don't like Apple products

How bad is it - I considered a motor mover until I saw the price - just have to be good at reversing rather than dragging by the hadles

Ok I was the worlds biggest sceptic on the subject then I was given some by a docctor when my back got so I could hardly walk....

.....accupuncture!  It was like a miracle 1x5min session per week.  After 3 weeks I was running again and it hasnt occured in the past 2 years

First, STOP picking up 25kg sacks, or anything else!

Get in the pool.

Go to the physio and learn some good stretches.  Do them religiously!

Expect it to be a long slow recovery. Don't get frustrated and overdo it.

Took medication once - some pain killers when I came off the bike - but then decided it was a bit poofy...

Had a real bad accident in the army , report stated severe damage to lower back could cause permanent disability in the future
15 years ago the hospital offered me a wheelchair to leave in as my back was to badly damaged to do anything with according to them,
to cut a long story short a month later after being unable to do anything escept face up to life in a wheelchair , my wife stumbled across a chap who swore blind he could sort it,  so i thought bugger it got nothing to lose, went to see him and after just one 45 min session i was able to walk for 300 yards, admittedly it only lasted a short time but he could not risk doing anymore without x rays, so off i went to have some private xrays he looked at them, and had me in for another session told me that he could adjust the spine around the damaged area, took me 4 months of weekly sessions as the back has to be retrained to its new position, but ask anyone on the forum who knows me there isnt a sign of back trouble now, i just go to him once a year for an MOT  and havent had a twinge since, Dr yen yang co, he has a surgery for chiropractic clinic in chipping norton which isnt so far from you, if its realyy doing your head in would recomend him mate!!!

Good advise there Theolodian!!

I can only add a good hard bed, a floor, or wooden board I have found also does the trick!

Toothache is the only thing worse than true severe back pain

Try a double compound fracture - morphine is suddenly the greatest discovery known to man.

Last time i slipped a disc.........doctors advice was take the pain killers.......so i did....his advice was carry on doing as you normally do..with the painkillers...its apparently better to keep moving.....went to physio in the end who put my slipped disk back.....after about 4/5 sessions.....

Apparently im overweight.....according to my doc.....ok i have bit of a gut! and therefore will always suffer from back probs........ive had quite a few slipped discs......

So take the painkiller Martin and find a physio.....
