My Back

Oooo, agony & cant straighten up. Painkillers not working, what else ?

Have you got anyone there to give you a gentle massage?

Failing that I find heat helps. Hot -water bottle.

[bednobs]

stay bent over?

[cupid04]

I have one of those heat vibrating cushions [was my in-laws] And it still works!

[tamborine]

I've got vibrating bed but its not for bones

[fredkins]

I agree with cupid04 a gentle massage might help.

I've tried massage, alas. I found a load of paracetamols do the job with diazapan I found (OHs meds).

Cura Heat do a heat pad which is wonderful. I've had problems since an op last year, the op was successful but I still get aching, and I've found these pads brilliant. They heat up automatically when you open the packet, and you stick them OVER your underwear (pants in my case as the pain is lower back). Tesco have them, or you can get them on line. I have the extra large ones and just paid £3.80 for a pack of two from Express Chemist. They stay hot for 10 hours which is brilliant, better than a heat pad cos they stay with you wherever you go!!
