I hurt. I have hurt for 3 weeks now. I am pissed off with it.

[AtYourCervix]

what sort of exercise can i do? i'm seizing up. i can't walk too far (although am managing work with lots of sitting down breaks) don't think i can do swimming - breaststroke would bend me too much. i could float on my back but would look a bit of an arse.

and i might go back to the docs if osteo can't fix me tomorrow. wondering what other drugs i could try. i can't take any opiates.

LDN might do it. Sorry you're still stuck with this awful pain.

Ask about naltrexone. It's meant to be really good.

i'm so pissed off i have gone back to bed (on leave this week thankfully). with 2 hot water bottles and pride and prejudice.

Lie flat on your back, lift each leg up carefully then hug knees to chest, release gently down.
Still flat on your back, stretch arms out to side (crucifix) and bend knees up. turn your head to the right, bend drawn-up knees to the left SLOWLY. Come back to neutral and head to the left/knees right.

** No idea on your injury, these are general release excercises so take it slow and if it hurts STOP.

You have my sympathy - I can only stand up or lie down at the mo & sitting, unless bolt upright and with my coccyx over the edge of the seat(so less pressure on the spine iyswim), is v painful. Currently mainlining ibuprofen and paracetamol

So sorry to hear that..

Ginger is a good natural pain killer, can take it in many ways, many times a day, also in drinks e.g. spiced infusions or in capsules, can DIY make some..

saffron v. good too, I use it for period pains e.g in rice or hot drinks.A bit Expensive but lasts a long time.

If it's CFS/ M.E. you have there is plenty of info. and help (support type help ) available-don't let anyone push you into anything you're not happy with.

Magnesium supplements also very good for muscles and nerve functioning.

Hope you get some relief. All the best*

haven't been able to stomach ginger without puking since trying to cure morning sickness 13 years ago.

docs tomorrow. again.
