micky 3,325 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I had it for years, nothing i ever did ever done a bit of good except work, it was never as painful as Disc trouble but there was never any relief from it , to me not sleeping as the worst part.

Not a fan of taking too many painkillers, even the Weston’s vintage and 2 cocodamol ain’t helping me sleep. Lol Bag of frozen peas for as long as you can take followed by a hot water bottle, I have lots of back issues, don't like taking pills so I take rose hip syrup and do the hot/cold thing only thing I use from the chemist is the gel you put on the skin, to much painkiller abuse will just feck your kidneys and livers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevj 433 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I have suffered with it since 2008 when I bust 2 discs in my back.Tried lots of different treatments but best relief I have is from Pregabalin which my back specialist put me on.I take 300mg morning and night and it doesn't get rid of it completely but definitely helps 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
green dragon 701 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Have a joint before bed or if you don't like smokeing you can get vaps or even a small pice of a space cake You don't have to have it everyday but I'm sure 3 good nights a week is better than being in pain all week 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meece 1,957 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 A lot of the problem wkith this is bad posture and putting load on the spine which pinches a nerve. Stand up straight and ive found climbing over a five bar gate helps. Sometimes there is a small click and the pain is gone. I have seen people walking all sort of twisted and bent.

lanesra 3,994 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Naproxen works for me , also on your back and lift up the leg on the side your suffering with , cup your hands under the knee keeping your body straight & pull across to other side . . Mine is down the right so I pull my right leg across to my left keeping my left leg flat to the ground , works for me , FUKCIN horrible pain . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
