back pain advive pleassssssssssssssssssse

[AlmostAChristmasAngel]

put my back out about a month ago by getting up from sitting on the floor ! pain lasted really till this saturday thats when there was no pain when walking ,,,thought yippee xmas shopping ,,was trying a pair of jeans on ..guess what...back went agin ,,i am now in severe pain ,,am on here by sitting on a low stall with one knee on the floor!,,,on websites and drs advice it says keep busy dont lay down,,,laying down doesnt hurt walking very wonky at that hurts! any advice am taking painkillers..

chiropractor - DH went to one after having had a bad back on and off for years - they did an xray and say that his back was really twisted - they manipulated for about 5 sessions (maybe 10 mins per time) - and now - touch wood he hardly has a problem.

Not cheap - but it did work.

Painkillers - max strength ibuprofen was advised by doctor and chiropractor - apparently safe to take long term.

Get a heat pad from Boots - there are several makes, the best one I find is the sort of corset affair (can't remember who makes it) You can keep on for 8 hours at a time.

Take ibuprofen or voltarol (see dr for prescription) and rub in Arnica Gel.

Then when better take up Pilates to strenghten your core stability and stop it happening again

osteopath! definitely

spend time sitting on an exercise / birth ball (from argos, 3.99 - 12.99) - it helped my sacro-iliac pain no end.

i went to see an osteopath after go in and out off the hospital with severe back pain and after about 4 setions my back was back to normal i highly recomend it

Osteopath. Sorted out my back.

thank you all sorry for delay havent been online..oh i was silly i went to the hairdresers and sat down for too long [highlights] when i tried to get up i got a spasam that went though my entire body!fell back into chair and it took me 15 mins to stand then had to have my hair washed standing up with head slightly bent,both i and the hairdresser were soaked,,,i was so embarressed dh has taken time of work ,and has been an angel ,,,i was given voterol,,i could kiss the nurse,,i can now stand without spasams,,,,,,,does pilates really help? sorry if i dont respond but i cant sit here for long thanks again,,,xx
