hi everyone....i wanted to say thank you for all your help and support yesterday after i had done a mischief to my back. it is better today (as i am actually able to walk now - albeit like a drunk crab) but is still quite painful. i think it is definitely a muscular issue and it will continue to improve if i behave myself and be sensible. so.....i am back on the sofa with a hot water bottle and will be playing around on here and ebay for the rest of the day. i hope you are all ok too :-) x
given the past calamities you've had with your back I'd suggest investigating rather than just crossing your fingers. Being sensible is all well and good, but you can put your back out just by turning over the wrong way in bed; so it could happen again. Why not invite your doc to find out what's actually wrong?
Muscles do settle down... but if they settle down in the wrong position because of some unaddressed issue, then you're not that much better off.
hi jno. don't worry, i will go to the docs on monday (routine app) anyway....and i reckon this will still be sore then anyway. i'm just having to decide if i need to phone work as i should rest tomorrow instead of doing a 14hr shift (!). it is a little better but i really don't want to.....x
