I recommend the Hat and Whisky cure. After a hot bath, go to bed with a bottle of whisky, having first hung your hat where you can see it. Drink the whisky until the hat appears to move by itself. In the morning you won't be bothered by your back, though you will be hung over and late for work.
Id seek professional advice

Even better take the whiskey with you when you have your bath... 1 or 2 glasses while you are soaking (use your big toe to turn the tap to top up the hot water) in a nice radox bath..... you shouldnt feel your back sore when you get out the bath...

Hi Dadie,
simple analgesia -paracetamol and ibuprofen (providing you are not asthmatic) -take regulatly for 24-48 hrs and try to move as able.Don't lie still or on boards as this will only mean you stiffen up further.
hope you feel better soon

Try to sleep on your back tonight, making sure your pillows are not too high, so if you have to then maybe take one away. If you cant sleep on your back (i cant) then go to bed and just lye there for a wee while. It just keeps your spine and muscles aligned for a while. :Razz
The whisky idea sounded like something good for my OH to try but pain killers dont allow alcohol :lol: But his is arthritis so its different
My back is fine:lol:
But when I put it out when pregnant a nice soak and a heat pack helped.... soaking in the bath like a stranded whale eating chocolates was bliss:lol:
Wicker8 has a achy back from hard work so a good soak and a well earned treat is justified!

Oh they are brilliant- they are a powerful dose of Diclofenuc and I recommend them to anyone with spinal problems.
Yes I thought Diclofenac were brilliant but are a contributing factor to my CKD! :(
When you find something that works for you wicker8 please tell me what it was. I think the only soloution to mine though is giving birth and its still too early for that yet lol.

DO NOT mix the paracetamol with my whisky cure. They don't mix.
Serious advice is to take ibuprofen and keep taking it regularly until a day or two after he pain has gone. It reduces inflammation and swelling in whatever you've tweaked, thus relieving pressure on pinched nerves. I have a few ibuprofen tablets the size of pigeon eggs that I keep in reserve from an earlier episode.

All you can do is have hot baths, use heatpacks, paracetamol when its really bad and see the midwife incase a bump brace would help.
I got co codamol when I did my back in good and proper when I was pregnant with Euan (I could hardly walk though). They worked on the pain but I didnt like taking them!

Somebody said that Arthrotec was only Volterol with a stomach protector. This is true but the Volterol you buy over the counter is only 12.5mg Diclofenac- Arthrotec is a whammy of a pill of 50mg three times a day.
Use with discretion - works for me.
Anybody thought about natural remedies without pumping your body full of harmful chemicals?
I suffer from back ache a lot and I take oil of oregano. It's an anti-inflammatory and works just as well as any chemical pill I have ever taken. Crushed garlic does the same but I am intolerant to bulb plants...
Be careful about advising people to take declofenac, it's a known allergen and can be life threatening if you take it and are allergic to it.
Stuffing your face with powerful painkillers over many years will mean your body gets used to them and you have to increase the dose further and further.
Some pain you can't do anything about but if you suffer from a bad back regularly it's often a muscle problem, which means exercising helps and muscle relaxation. Hot bath, standing, sitting and sleeping in the right posture etc. Lots of things that can be done, but no miracles I am afraid.
First get a diagnosis from your GP, nod when he prescribes pills, don't fetch them from the chemist, instead research online about natural remedies that replace your pills.

Or just go on invalidity.

As long as you haven't pulled anything... get back out in the garden and do some more. Unused muscles will always complain to begin with. I started working on my allotment 3 days ago and the first night was very uncomfortable; the second was better and now I feel fine. :D
