Doctors ASAP

Physio does help

Remember my nasty fall

Do not get really strong painkillers you will be impossible to live with

those stick on pads are meant to help but there quite expensive to buy. seems to be big big profits in illnesses.

sorry to hear.. 

for the last 10 days I'm suffering only pain in the left shoulder and neck and it nearly disabled me..

so I can understand how you really feel..

visit a doc.. have some pain killers for few days and rest.. then try exercising when the pain diminishes abit..

in my case exercise helped ..

[mathewst]

When I had these kind of problems the painkillers helped but not much, have you tried the gel instead of pills?

Thought I'd give you guys an update! Had a reasonable night's sleep (for me!) and, although I'm stil in pain, it feels more manageable! Still haven't actually got up yet though :-/

[PhilRich]

Good to hear you got some sleep Paul. If you don't have to get up don't! Get swmbo to walk up & down your back in Basque & Stilettoes, it used to work for me

[jerry]

sympathise with you mate as have had a bad back years now, sadly once youve got that weakness seems you'll always have it. When I originally hurt mine, like an idiot I continued to try and work through it , carrying loads etc. At that time they were all talking about specialists and traction and stuff but the real trick is to have only a limited amount of rest and instead concentrate on specific exercises. Still get the odd twinge-especially at this time of year as it gets colder-and, more often than not, this happens not when Im lifting anything heavy but rather doing something quite simple and its just that Ive twisted the wrong way . Like you, am loathe to take pain killers unless absolutely necessary but do find that doing slow and gentle stretching exercises like tai-chi help. Being quite tall doesnt help but then neither does my seeming unability to loose the weight from the   belly area   Anyhow, I know how miserable it can be so hope you feel better soon

Woman are pains,but they dont go away

Wouldn't be without mine TBH... Especially at the moment

Aye, she's a good 'un


Now where's my brownies

Everyone is different, but I tend to lay out on the floor when my back is bad.  Partly because I can't move (as the floor isn't that comfy), but mostly I does tend to help mine.

I refrain from pain killers:
a) medication is for poofs
b) last time I popped a couple (when I fell off the bike), I was in a strange, pleasant yet strange, world

[hotel21]

I also suffer from back trouble and have done for a fair number of years.  I generally avoid painkillers as, like a number of others, I would rather know what movement is painfull (and thus, counterproductive to healing) rather than mask the feeling and probably do further damage by wrong movement.

Medical opinion is always preferred, I would say, just in case there is some serious underlying condition rather than just a pulled muscle or general discomfort.

Everyone is different, especially as regards getting a comfortable position, but trial and error....
