Slipped disc

What are you lot like lol, between backs and strokes most of these uk R's must be found in disabled parking spots lol .

The taller you are the more likely you have back issues at some point , the pain is intense , its natures way of protecting your spine from damage .
It can turn you into a complete mess , like a baby , you cant put a pair of socks on , and forget sleep ,after 3 or 4 sleepless days , you turn into a monster !!
I was lucky that I once had back/disc problems , whilst is was living in Berlin , and the local specialist was one of the finest in the world -
He advised to never have any operation unless an absolute last resort or bone defects , I did a series of specific muscle exercises every day for 45 mins and followed by a session in a hot tub , after 2 months I was right as rain and stayed that way for 10 years ( 3 mins excersise each day) then on .
Chiropractors -NO
Bonus in my case the Krankengymnast who I did my exercise with, was one of the fittest birds ive ever seen in my life ....a pleasure and pain thing happening at the same time

So Pete how's your back ?

Is it feeling better

Well after 2 weeks of getting better and on the 3rd week going to Newquay on holiday I was brushing my teeth and it basically went again, so I had to have a couple of sessions at the chyropractors whilst I was down there, and just been for another with one down the road from me, and I must say it's feeling better but Jesus do they crack your bones!
Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be much better,going back to see them in a week. He's given me some excersises to do, so watch this space

Yeah its quite disconcerting the noises they get out of your spine, but strangely pleasant too! Hopefully youll be feeling a lot better in a few days mate

Well I’m back off work again, it’s basically gone again,was going to the chyropractors every week and it was sort of getting better, any way I’ve been refered by the Drs to the physio who will hopefully refer me for an mri scan. Even my chyropractor said it’s time for an mri scan

Sorry to hear that Pete ... hopefully the mri will show something up that can be sorted out ...

Stringing this one out mate is it because you have had to stand up instead of sitting on a digger ha ha

No mate get a scan and keep on at them until they sort you out

Lol, yea I’m just milking the statatury sick pay. I’m gonna have to Johnny,in agony with it
Just noticed you’ve been given a negative, wasn’t me just so you know

Staturory sick pay that we'll loads you could practicly live off that ...

Ha ha don’t worry mate prob a slip of someone’s finger or they read it thinking I was serious in my post lol

I totally thought you was serious
Only joking I know your not like that one bit .....

Honest it was a joke the bit when I said keep at them until they help you

Any updates Pete ...

Been to the physio and she’s said she’s not referring me for an mri scan, even it is a slipped discs they will only treat it the same as what they are doing, which is a set of excersises to do 3 times a day! Told me to go swimming which i did yesterday and that tbh has made it even worse, perhaps that’s just because of the excersise? Just taken the dog a walk and I was in a lot of pain! Going to try going back to work on Monday as I need the money......

And that's the problem having to go back to work not enough time to heal bit what can you do when you need the money ... I'm in the same predicament as you mate I need to take time off at least a few weeks minimum. .... but can't afford to and work is so busy I can't either .... I would of thought swimming would of helped as although your exercising you are not really straining yourself ....

Really I need a couple of weeks off like she said, but no work no money. I'll go back and see how I get on, if it happens again I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and have a few weeks off work with no money

No play no pay self employed sucks balls with things like this... States I've dragged myself into work just so I don't loose pay is ridiculous .... but you gotta live and pay the bills ...

Heat help out like this jaccusi or saunas ? Light exercise

I feel for you Pete, slipped a disc at the age of 19 and still suffering now at 26, changed jobs to suit it better and changed quiet a few things which I cant do due to the dodgy back. One of the reasons I don't drive my R as its clutch is too heavy cripples me on a long drive to a show.

Well that’s depressing.....what treatment did they give you?

Lol trust shroom to taint the thread the truth is Pete and I'm sure your aware once you have back problems they never really disappear not unless your asshole lucky ... but hopefully your one of the lucky ones

Very true ^ you can do things that help but its something you learn to live with, even though my back is always sore I rarely notice it anymore.

Thanks for cheering me up (ever so slightly guys)
