if you have pain can you still jog or do interval training as exercise?

What is the cause of your sacral pain?

[RATTER15]

is the pain severe or mild?

[nextqueen]

i would say severe, worse if i dont move much or go out in the day. our sofa or chairs for posture are rubbish so i end up sitting on the bed of an evening quite often. the doc has prescribed me co codamol 30/500 and given me an exercise sheet but doesnt seem to do much good. is there any hope or will i now have this pain forever, doc said probably general wear and tear, it is really getting me down.

i didnt sleep at all last night,tossing and turning even after a sleeping tablet, this is really gettting me down, will the pain ever go away or will i now have it for life?

I have it along with all my arthritic problems and I wouldn't jog. In fact I couldn't jog. Mine is worse in the morning when I first get up actually. I don't know why.

[LoftyLottie]

I would recommend however that you seek out a really good osteopath, (depending on the cause). They are pretty good at getting posture sorted out which helps alleviate a lot of back pain.

thanks Lottie, the co codamol are spacing me out, i feel tired all time but still cant sleep as any movement at night keeps me awake.

I can't take cocodomol that don't help my pain and they make me hallucinate!!

Seriously though an osteopath or physio can help a lot more than a GP who will just dish up pills and tell you it's wear and tear. It probably is wear and tear, but it can be helped if you get your posture right.
