What A State To Be In

[JohnJ]

When we got our first heavy snowfall the other day I spent an hour clearing the outside of my warehouse access point so the delivery vehicles could get in & out safely, all cleared and gritted ready to go.

Sadly I managed to bugger my lower back in the process and have now been off for two days in sodding agony :ack2:

Now the real bummer, I went out today to get a bit of flying in as I'm unable to do anything else well you've never seen out so funny I'm standing semi stooped trying to look up whilst writhing my back left and right in pain!

Managed one battery before reality told me I was on a hiding to nothing!

Now I'm back here using my SIM thinking this just isnt the same :(

I wouldn't wish back strain on anyone well not many people anyway, very unpleasant !!!!

thats crap john, i know how you feel. i get bad back and knees. sometimes i cant even stand up straight with my back or put the slightest bit of weight on my knee. you cant get comfortable whatever position you try wether sitting, lying on back/side etc.
i usually take strong pain killers and go for a red hot bath with radox.
cheers

Matty you nailed the description perfectly, there's simply no position that dosent hurt :svengo:

Never mind my boss was delighted that I'd cleared all the delivery area - Yeah Get Real - Not so much as a nod for the effort !!!!!

ITs horrible Ive had a bad back since I was hit by a car when 16. Some times I have to take diazapam for the pain. Normally I have 600mg Ibruprofen or Diplenfenic Sodium!

..sympathies John.. I've got an old abscess and decay/arthritis low back so that standing for long periods and my feet start going numb...the pain you sort of get used to but some days I'm a grumpy sob...
..you can find answers to things like getting socks on but some things aren't easy....

Pain in d back is a bastid,lol especially lower back excuse my lang, Im 22 and suffer nerve damage to the lower back due to meningitis and pneumonia and a horible back surgen.lol Anyway Best advice I cud give you is stay warm, wrap up, lay on hot water bottle at night wer the pain is, and also when the pain is gone for a while do regular wieght exercises which will help your back. I tot it wud make it worse but it works for me, when I stop doing wieghts for long long periods, the pain starts to cum back. :)

Sorry to hear that, John. Hope you get it sorted quickly and painlessly.

p.s. apparently, according to [URL="http://www.punternet.com/frs/fr_search.php"]punternet[/URL], there's a couple of places in Bracknell that'd give your back a rub.

:D

Sympathies to all with a bad back, Had a short spell years ago so know how it can feel, But the wife has degenerative damage to lower back and suffers daily. She copes well but it can take the shine off life when its everyday :(.

Sympathies John, I know how your feeling I had a disc go out over a year ago and now left with a numb left foot two injections in my spine did jacksh1t, and now waiting for an op. Looks like the Harley is going to go as well riding position and vibrations flare the back pain up every time I rode it last year.

Cheers
Chris.

Many thanks to all that have replied to my daft tale of woe, but I do appreciate my temporary pain will ease (Hopefully) in a couple of days so I can't begin to imagine what those people go through that suffer every day of they're lives!

I try not to complain too much as I'm more fortunate than many, we all know people far less fortunate than ourselves, right time for some more pain killers :)

Sod it were's that Pussers Rum :cheers2:

Uugghhh Simon just had a shudder go through my spine at the thought of Gin full stop :ack2:

Guess we can agree on an alcoholic herbal remedy and leave the rest to personal taste :cheers2:
