greenandmean Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Know how you feel, been having trouble for quite a while now, tried acupunture,physio,etc. but been getting relief for a few days now with something I tried out of desperation, now don't laugh it may be physocological but who cares it seems to be helping me, and this magical product is WD40 Try it what you got to lose, a quick spray and rub it in and see how you go.

Norman Verona Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I've never had back problems. Until I tore both lower back muscles. Spent 6 month with twice weekly massage thingie. But it's not right and probably never will be. If I do anything I get back pain. I'm not sure how I'm going to do the strimming around the farm this year. Should be fun next week as we're supposed to be finishing the porch. Two huge windows to get from the large barn down to the house. I'm planning on lifting them into place with the engine crane. Hope yours get better in a day or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M444TTB Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Having hurt my back in the gym (early morning stupidity!) when I was 25 and had periodic trouble since you have my sympathy. Back problems really are deeply unpleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User0083 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I have a list of issues!!! What you need is a tempur mattress... And a couple of pretty 18yr olds to to a good deep massage! Not Mrs C... Her attempts at a therapeutic massage feels like I'm getting attacked but toddlers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User0083 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 If you have back issues a good thing is a kettle bell. You tube the training, get one about 6 kg and another twice the weight. Have a training partner or mirror to check posture. Not nursing advice, personal experience. Mrs C throws a 18kg beast about and it's like a wrecking ball on a crane! We have 8kg, 14kg, 18kg and a 24kg. Worked a treat for both of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s2rrr Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I cut the grass for the first time this year ( well the mower did) my back has now gone into its usual trapped nerve condition. Funnily I spent a while on the lathe yesterday but it didn't help. I wouldn't take pain killers unless its too bad. Your body is telling you its damaged, don't try and do normal stuff until it tell you its sort of fixed. Brufens just mask the recovery, but do ease it whilst you get better. Must be a grumpy old mans syndrome, did I hear Normans had a bad back as well, thats it confirmed. Morning Norman suns shining and I'm off to Warwick with a skirmish around Stoneleigh to get my bearings from the Uni just a short detour. Bob aches if I sit, aches if I stand, time for a lead injection, bl**** good job I'm not a horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I suffer on and off too - just wear and tear. Had spondylosis in my neck for years and lower back hasn't been great for the last year or so - doesn't stop me doing stuff but it's nagging most of the time. Doc has always said to me that if you have a bad back, either walk or lay down. Sitting or standing still are not good things to do. Seems to work.

Norman Verona Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 This thread getting like a Saga forum The first time, when I tore the back muscles was just a matter of time, no problem. The second time was tiling in the corner of the kitchen under the top cupboards. This did one side then did the other stretching into the window reveal. I had to get the house finished so we could move in before winter set in so took Codeine. Maximum dose was 3 per day for 3 days. I was taking 5 a day and for 6 weeks. However when I stopped I didn't get any withdrawal symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
