I really wish my back problem would sort itself out. It is making me very grumpy and I am having pointless arguments and wasting time on GN threads!
I need to be out and about ..garden needs work, I want to go to work & earn a bit of cash but not fit to do so grrr!

Do not feel chiropractor is helping, going for a blood test tomorrow and have been referred to a rheumatology clinic!

Bad backs are so horrible - they really drag you down in every way. Have you tried a TENS machine? - I find that helps if I turn it up so it is just uncomfortable and it seems to act as a counter-irritant that drowns the pain.

Back pain is awful. Every now and then I get terrible back spasms. The pain is horrendous. I have been known to grab the arms of passing strangers in reaction to a spasm blush My chiropractor usually sorts me out but I have to wait for an appointment and try to struggle on.
