No Shooting Today Or Longer

[philpot 5,122]

I bought another gun cabinet a couple of days ago as I am getting a bit tight for space in mine and thought it would be handy to have my most used shotguns and FAC Rapid in a separate cabinet. This one is going to be sited downstairs, easier to get my guns out.

 

Now the new one is a 6 gun cabinet and a bit heavier than the normal 3 or 4 gun units and whilst carrying it through the house to the place it is to be sited......................................................my back went CLICK.

 

I am not even able to get my bloody pants on without help, I have a clay shooting competition on today which to be honest I expected to win so I am not a happy bunny, in fact I am anything but happy. Heat pads on and hoping for it to ease enough for me to go and shoot but I really doubt it.

 

P1SSED OFF to say the least.

Sounds like a trapped nerve Phil, I sometimes get it and it`s very painful.

Worked for a doctor once and he said go swimming and then rest, keeping warm.

 

 

I`m just going out for a stroll with the 12 bore and enjoy watching my GSP working, they are an awesome working dog,- get one Phil.

 

I`ll be thinking about you,

My back clicks and I'm f****d sometimes. Back went once just from bending down to move. Little stone from the drive.

 

Don't know if its medically reccomended or not but I lie down and sleep on the hard floor and it seems to ease up

[philpot 5,122]

Cheers Mark.

 

I have not had back problems for a few years in fact since I had an operation on my back, it has been fine...................................bloody age I bet. Oh well no doubt I will sit and watch a Christmas film or two this afternoon to pass the time on.

I feel for you pal, I had two episodes where I was laid up bad, once for a few months, and again just recently for a week, I hate it, like you couldn't even dress myself, even worse when you have plans for the day like you did.

 

Go see a good chiropractor ( best of luck finding a good one) and then regular exercises help, I have a list to do that loosens my spine up and I feel better for it, also as said swimming is supposed to really help.

bottle of whisky will do the job

Forget the heat Phil, wrap some frozen peas in a tea towel, ten minutes every hour NO LONGER, very effective at limiting the damage and reducing inflammation, I found it very effective after the chiropractor advised me to do it.

Sorry to hear that Phil. Hope it doesn't last too long mate.

Thanks guys, I am a past master when it comes to back trouble and I don't think this bout is going to be be a major problem just a pain in the arse.

 

When it was bad back in the eighties, I was off work for months until I had surgery but I know this is not going to be so bad providing I manage the situation as I have learned over the years. It is just bad timing, quite a few things to do at the moment which will have to be left in order not to push it over the edge. All four of my rifles have the scopes removed in the process of a change over and I am seriously wanting to get them all sorted and zero's done along with Getting some pellets through the Rapid to find what works at FAC levels so I can be out after the rabbits as soon as the back will let me.

 

I still need to alter some shelves in order to install the new gun cabinet....................................and so it goes on, you guys know what it is like when you wanting to get things done.

 

Sod it, it will take what time it needs and again I will have to wait. Normally if I do have a back issue, it is okay in a matter of days since having the surgery, I am hoping this is no different.

feel for u phil, its crap fun being laid up

I've had two discs removed and replaced with plastic ones, the week aft my op i was back at work skimming ceilings!!

not ideal but no-one was gonna pay my mortgage and I'm self employed..

ibuprofen works better than anything that the doc gave me and a good chiropractor is worth a shot, worked wonders for me till i got it sorted

Better taking care and going slow and easy once these things start they have a habbit of repeating themselves as you get older

[mark williams 7,568]

Lots of " heavy sex" is another cure Phil .

That doctor we worked for said "you" must always be on top, never underneath .

Saying that I am presuming " your straight" ( excuse the pun)

 

 

Good luck Pots
