Cleanspade 3,322 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 hi folks ive done my back in on the lower left side. i can hardly feckin walk and get a sharp pain not unlike a bad cramp that drops me like a stone one minute i'm trying to walk the next i'm on the deck. in a fair bit of pain . the doc has given me pain killers and anti inflamatories and says the muscle may be pressing on a nerve. i was wondering if any of you have had the same and how did it work out.

I had a herniated disk last winter. Narrowing from arthritis, flattening a nerve. My symptoms were similar to yours. But it started with a small patch of numbness over my right hip bone. I declined a Cortisone shot and went through therapy. Very pretty blonde by the way. I think I'm fine know as long as I don't do much shoveling. The numbness acts as my early warning, and I try to be faithful to the exercises she gave me. I'd be curious to hear from anyone who went with the shot. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blackmaggie 3,375 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 you could try a tens machine that gives out electric pulses its suppose to relax the muscle theres a setting depending on how strong you want them but i think you need to know exactly whats wrong first it could be anything from a pulled muscle to a slipped disc do you get a stabbing pain first thing in the morning and does your back feel like its on fire whatever it is i hope your sorted soon has theres nothing worst 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BOLSTER 808 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Plenty of rest but as soon as the pain goes get back on your feet & keep moving building the muscles back up in your back. Hemp oil helped me recover very fast. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,067 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Don't let them fob you off with tabs get referred to the physio. My docs kept prescribing tablets (over a few years) and the xray showed nothing because my problem is muscular. I paid for a few different physios which is a dear hobby but eventually the doc referred me to a physio that visits the surgery once a week and he was the best by a mile and proved the private physios ripped me off. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zx12edge 1,001 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I compressed three discs in my lower back had three months in bed with it thought i was fecked. Had loads of physio and had a needle up my spine (did not enjoy that) but it helped quite a bit.Thing that helped me the most was exercise and one of them massaging chairs well worth the couple of hundred quid more than paid for itself.worst thing about a bad back apart from the pain is walking about like you shit your self lol. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TOPPER 1,809 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 my missus has a fcked back the spine is falling apart and compressing the nerves shes on 180 mil of morphine a day plus heavy duty pain killer and the best thing we have found is an inversion frame it turns you upside down and gravity does the rest your spine opens up trapped nerves get relief or pop back to where there supposed to be so get the missus to hang you out the bedroom window for an hour or two that will do the trick 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frontbum 76 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) I've had problems with my back over the years i found a back support i brought on the net helped alot just wear for a few days as not to rely on it, also i wear dealer boots now its a small thing but not bending down to mess around with laces after a long day helps.
