Big rowie 186 Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 I am on tramadol for back pain when it kicks in I pop one wait for it to start working ( half hour ) then I have a back massaging seat thing I attach to seat or lay it on bed depending what shape my back is in. The pain killers with heat and movement from back massager work. Tho I'm in constant pain it helps when it's at its worst 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big rowie 186 Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 No worries mate. When I get home I'll put pick up of it. Deffo good to get one Physio said I've to do twists n movements. So anytime I have spare just stretch twist. Not even big movements help. Small movements but regular and seems to unstiffen Hope it gets better soon nothing worse than back pain 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel cain 44,963 Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Tried acupuncture, tiger balm, hot baths, heat pads, freeze sprays, tramadol, diazapam, deep medical massages , had 6 months of physio after my accident.... Acupuncture worked for a few months, tramadol and diazapam are the only things that work for me personally. I've been in constant pain for the last 7 years... Just got to get on with it.. Don't help I'm lifting kerbs, slabs, block paving most days... Had to slow down on the terrier work... As I can't dig both days on a weekend and last the week punching out the work without medication... Got to be careful then though driving to work and operating plant 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 46,561 Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 I suffer bad when it hits me mate. Over the years I have found anti inflammatory drugs, a decent back support to get you upright when you need to move around and rest is all that worked. It literally has me unable to walk on a bad attack and the big neoprene support done up very tight almost like a bloody body brace let’s me move about without inflicting more damage or falling over like a dopey prick !

shaaark 10,693 Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) 23 minutes ago, foxdropper said: Lose weight made me laugh that lol. But definitely does help. @Blackmag I've had ALL treatments on my back, including accupuncture and accupressure. Chiroptactor, osteopath etc etc, after a near fatal accident 21 years ago. Best thing, for me, was definitely chiropractor, who 'should' give you a good stretching and flexibility programme to follow, to be performed a couple of times per day. Maybe not available for many people, but I only live a couple of miles from the university of wales, where I had my treatment, and they also have their own 'rehabilitation' gym, and you do a programme of specific strengthening ecercises for a few weeks after your course of chiropractic treatments. Can work out expensive, if you can find a good chiroprator, but certainly better than shoving loads of painkillers and anti inflammatories into your system. Good luck with it Edited January 8, 2021 by shaaark 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky 3,325 Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 As DC said you just have to get on with it though if you can somehow get a good attack of Gout then that will take your mind off of it . 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
