I'm in Pain!!!

I'm so sorry!

There is a great book, called Treat Your Own Back (or something close to that) using the Mackezie technique. It literally shows you various exercises to do for various back problems. My physical therapist used it when I was going for lower back pain. It helped me a lot and I loaned it to a friend who never even went to the doctor, but was able to use the exercises with a back problem.

Hope it feels better soon!

Back pain is the bain of my life my doctor sent me to a pilates class at the begining of the year and it sure helps, before I would just sit still but now I keep on moveing and stretching excercises. Gota build up core muscles

Bless you, don't know how you could drive a bus. Put a heating pad on it. It helps me, ice didn't work.

I bought a pilates machine and finally got it set up.. been using it for a few weeks now and I love it!!! Always have had back pain, and starting to have problems with my knees.. I really think this machine is helping me.

I have been going to classes run by a physio but would also like a pilates machine to work out at home but have to sell my un used running machine first

Thanks all, I do feel a little better this morning. I didn't sleep good at all last night, too much pain. Plus the old man snored more than ever. If I would have had the back strength I would have held a pillow over his head.

Drove the bus, it wasn't too bad, but came straight home, took ibuprophen and went to sleep. I feel so much better. Still don't have total movement yet, but it's better.

I was only on the computer for about 10 minutes yesterday and I think that's a record for me...LOL

I'm glad to hear that you're a little better. You might want to keep taking the ibuprophen for another day or two. It helps to keep the inflamation down.

Janet · 11-05-2008, 10:51 AM

Thanks Diana, I'm making sure I take it every four hours so it will stay in my system. I really think I'll be even better tomorrow.

Been meaning to ask, did you take the picture in your avatar?
