Slipped disc recovery

0 replies

I believe I have slipped a disc in my back although not confirmed by a professional. I was bending forward on Saturday and my lower back just went into spasm, it was extremely painful across my lower back, bum and thighs with feelings of weakness and tingling as well. I could hardly move all day, anything in a sitting position was excruciating so going to the toilet was an experience!

It's gradually improving, the pharmacist gave me max strength voltarol and I'm trying not to stay in one position for too long and sleeping with a pillow between my knees.

My concern at the moment is we are going to Disneyland Paris in 5 weeks time and I have a child with a disability who will be in a large pushchair so I really need to be fit and well! Has anyone got any tips or experiences for a speedy recovery?!
