I spazzed out my back again. Not even sure what I did this time. I was watering plants so sort of bent over at an odd angle. Last time it was from lifting fire wood. I have an old back injury so I try to be careful. BUT, I did get some hefty pain pills out of the deal. Anybody else have back pain? If so, what do you do for it?

I do. Not every day but I have a muscle in my shoulder that spasms easily. I don't really do anything but take hot showers. I just kinda grin and bear it.

Wrap some smooth river rocks in some warm moist towels, and put them along your spine if possible. great stuff. BTW your new pic is pretty.

I have it in the neck

I had two discs cut out and the three vertebrae fused with bone grafts from my hipbone and all held together with a titanium plate right behind my adam's apple

I go to physical therapy three times a week which is mostly useless. Those e-stim machines have never worked for me

stretching is good

but mostly vicodin is best

I would suggest laying on an ice pack, that was recommended for me and it really helped to settle down the pain. I hope you feel better.

Really?? My 5th lumbar is out of line. That was the original injury. I was told they wanted to fuse it back using either a piece of my hip bone or bone from a bank. I declined because it sounded terribly painful. Fortunately mine Finally went away and only acts up when I do something to it.

In the morning when I get out of bed. I sit down on a chair for about an hour and it's gone.

I have a high pain tolerance but geez oh man, I can barely walk this time. Don't know how you all deal with it on a daily basis.

mine was much worse before they fused it. so, as bad as it is, it's an improvement. just the muskels in my neck get spasmed out and I have to work it out in physical torture, I mean therapy

I used to have a pain in the a$$, but it went away when she found a b/f. Been pain free now for a couple of months now. happy
