Topic: Back Pain | |
---|---|
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?

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.

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. |

I have a herniated disc...I find walking helps keep it strong.

OUCH Kim. Sorry to hear that.
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. |

Fortunately mine Finally went away and only acts up when I do something to it. 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 |
