Hi there.
I’ve been living with back pain for years and would love to hear some positive stories. and how you conquered your back pain!
I’m 42 and have had back issues since I was 27. The first time it ‘went’ I was under incredible stress and being bullied in my job, working long hours at a desk. I woke in the morning and my back went into spasm and I could barely move. I was given diazepam plus codeine which eventually solved it.
However in the last 15 years it has come and gone. When it ‘goes’ it’s excruciating pain and my back locks in spasm. I know stress is a big factor. Diazepam is the only thing that can release it.
I’ve seen an osteopath, chiropractor and physio over the years. The best bit of advice was trying to manage my stress but this isn’t realistic with my job and home life as it’s super busy!
I’m persevering with the exercises but I’m not convinced they help.
would love to hear from anyone who is now pain free and how you did it!
Thanks in advance! X
