Thanks. Do you have any natural remedies for curing back pain? Seeing how you are always backpacking I'm sure you must have had a sore back or injury once in your life. You probably have some solution like rubbing fig leaves, you found on the hiking trail, on it or something :D
Actually, the only times I have experienced significant back pain were as a result of a bike accident, and various minor muscle pulls while lifting weights. In both cases, it was just pulled muscles, and the only solution was rest until they healed themselves. I know of no good remedy for the more general, chronic, back pain people can inflict upon themselves.
Sorry.
I've been taking hot hot showers, heating pad, and pain killers. Its getting better but slowly. I can only sit at my desk for about 30-60 minutes before having to lay down and rest for a while. This is the worst I have ever hurt it. I couldnt even walk for a couple of days (no I wasnt posting either).
Hmm, maybe that lottery ticket I bought a few days ago will win tonight and I can hire a girl for massages 24/7. :D
I would think that would probably not help.
Hehehe.... I feel your pain... I've only severely hurt mu back once.... went to the Doc's .... got Darviced and Tylenol W/ Codine.... got that was a wonderful week....

I'm down to just Tylenol w/Codine that I had left over from 2001 when I hurt it previously. So I figure the potency is lower now so I just double up on the dosage :D
Feeling allot better tonight after a nap. The pills knock me out.
My daughters friend has a cellphone pix of her injury. If I can get it I will post it. :sick:
Rob, best thing for back pain is Ibuprofen as it's an anti-inflammatory.
Glad to hear your daughter is doing better but I know what you mean, to a teenager (male or female) the important thing is how they look. It's one of those things that is a life-lesson which she will learn from. I myself was skateboarding and hit a rock. The skateboard stopped, I didn't and I landed face first in the kerb. Needless to say I learned not to use my face to break my fall.
You'll have a good laugh about this when she's older.....oh, and the UK health system isn't that much better..just free is all
Sir Indian yoga will help you.
Yeah Yoga is good, but you need to take that up only after your backpain has stopped. Not while it is still paining.Quote:

But seriously, Anti-inflammatory drugs are best. Try Voltaren Rapid 25 (Diclofenac Potassium - 25mg). Just don't use it with Ibuprofen or any other anti-inflammatory, or more than 6 tablets a day (max 100 to 150 mg per day, recommended is about 75 to 100 mg). Also don't take any Anti-inflammatory if your asthmatic, have stomach ulcers (or a bad stomach), or if your pregnant. Also remember to always consult your pharmacist before taking any medication in case there are any contradictions.
Also a problem with Anti-Inflammatory drugs is that they can upset your stomach, so you shouldn't use them over long periods of time. If you want something over long periods of time, Paracetamol with Codeine is good. Oh and codeine can cause drowsiness (but only in large amounts).
Finally a use for all that stuff i learnt :p
That's not true. There are some yoga exercises for back pain relief.Quote:

Well I'm meant to just recommend not using it, but if you use it and its fine, then go ahead... but if you die, I'm going to your funeral and shout "I TOLD HIM SO!!"
That's not a very nice thing to do... :mad:
Which is why I recommend that people don't use Ibuprofen if they have asthma... But if you have been using it, and your taking a preventer, reliever etc, and experience no problems, then its up to you. Besides, I didn't do the research and came up with Ibuprofen is bad if you have asthma... i just regurgitate it a few hundred times a day :p
My preventer would be either alcoholic, or involve sleeping. ;)
