Pain in the Back
Tuesday 11th of September 2007 07:42:18 PMWell the boss is off to a meeting; hope they stay in their room for a while longer. Its nice and peaceful here now 
So. Does anyone have Back Pain that just wont go away…. ? This is really getting to me. I know that stress goes straight to the back and turns into pain. However, I have been consciously avoiding stress and making an effort to have less stress related issues in my life, both mental and physical. But still the pain is there; a constant throbbing that will not go away. It is ruining my normally active life ! I really need to clean the new tiles too, but I cannot get on my hands and knees as the pain in the back kicks in. errrrr
I have thought perhaps I need a new bed. Okay, my bed is going on 15 years old, but I love my bed ! It cost a fortune too and I want to keep if for a while longer.
So, today after work I will once again sit for a while using the heating pad. Then when I can no longer just sit and do nothing I will get up and endure the pain. ugh.
May you all have stress free and pain free days
XOXOX

Yep, had back pain for YEARS. Finally had surgery and it went away 99% of the time. Throbbing pain, huh? Where is it located? Sometimes ice works much better than heat (back pain can sometimes be caused by inflammation of the muscle and surrounding tissue, which is reduced using cold rather than hot). Hope it feels better soon!

Hi Leigh,
as I really dont like pills.
Thanks for your note!
Lately the pain is lower back, kinda right below the belt. I have also heard that ice works good. My problem is that I get so cold when using ice, that the rest of my body stiffens up!
I also believe that the Mind has a great control over the body, so right now I am tying the Mind over Matter theory

I get back pain in my lower back when I’m tired and am carrying too many dogs around. i have to remember to lift from my legs not my back. I also occasionally get pain in my upper back by my left shoulder blade. Though the Chiropractor has fixed that up for me a couple times, I might be due to go back to him soon.

Yes, I need to remember to lift w/my legs as well. The Chiropractor is an idea as well. Will check into it if this continues after I loose this weight! XOXO
