this bad back thing is driving me nuts. i am doing every streaching exercise in the book and its still not slotting back in again. how long does everyone elses stay out for??

Pete you have my sympathies . Anyone who hasnt had a back problem has no idea how grim it makes you feel .

Mine was done some yrs back in a motorsports accident , it still bites me every 12 months or so .
Can I suggest an Osteopath or physiotherapist . If its more than a few days and hasnt settled down it will need some manipulation . Expensive I know but I am usually mobile after treatment within 2 or 3 days .
Oh nearly forgot , for gods sake dont lie on the floor or anything hard . Your spine is completely the wrong shape , it'll just make things worse . And thats from my osteopath and gp .

 

[hedgerow pete]

i dont do floors . i also dont do osteopaths or chircopractors either i find the manipulations they do far to aggressive and makes every thing worse, my favorite is a sports massuer, they can get rid of the muscle tension around the spine every thing relaxs back into place.


i was stupid enough to see a osteopath once he tried to put my left knee by my right ear hole, bugger that

Try hanging from a door frame, this stretches the back and allows the disk to return to place. (recomendation from a physiotherapist).
Also lie on the floor face down, shirt off and have your wife/partner/girlfreiend walk up and down your spine with bare feet. It sounds painful but does work.
My experience is from slipped disk, chipped vertebra from a fall onto rocks.
I kept getting relapses and the final cure was a spinal injection of cortico-steroids, which hurt like h**l but aftrewards I realised that I had not been without pain for over 20 years.

If you can hobble to the nearest playing frame and have your lad cable tie your wrists to a high horizontal bar and then swing on your ankles. It may not stretch you a bit and solve your current back problem, but you'll certainly find out who the local film makers are and provide a lot of entertainment for your son as he gets you to up his pocket money allowance.

Generally 6-8 weeks is the norm unless its prolapsed. I had the op and in total I was laid up for 14 weeks before I returned to work, but even now I'm physically shattered by 14:00hrs and still get the pain although nowhere near as bad as before but enough to seriously slow me down, got an MRI scan again tomorrow and a trip to see the bupa specialist next week.

Pete
Once a bad back, always a bad back huh? I've been there too often myself.

Personally, I'd see a GP. And I wouldn't be too keen to take much alternative well-meaning advice regarding treatment - every case is different. Unless you want irreversible spine damage and paralysis of course.... Good luck and GWS.

 

[hedgerow pete]

when i did the original cock up i ended up with one burst disk three prolapesed and the lower 6 vertibrate clapsed onto my pelvis in a curved alinement traping both siactic nerves and pinching the spinal cord aswell,

3 months "at home treatment " from a locom quack, i also went through every single treatment i could afford inc cluding all the other non doctor ones.
once i got into hospital it was another 3 months before i went under the knife and then another 4 months of learning to walk again properly

and i ant doing that again, the wife would kill me

nope this time its a good old fashioned slipped disk from working to hard and not doing enough streaching exercises

or as i like to call it "muppet being a muppet"

 

[Moggs]

Well, you'd better get well soon or I can see me having to hit the M5 north to help you with those heavy supers and even heavier teapot!
