I have always thought of people with bad backs as old and so now I am officially old!
Have had achy back and shoulder for a while and SUnday night it went into spasm - dopey me thought I wasd having a heart attack - DH called NHS direct who called the calvalry and 10 minutes later a paramedic was here - after gas & air and a diazapan (which I have to say is far too nice!) I calmed down and am now signed off with a bad back and am on strong painkillers and have been told to rest but make sure I do enough to make sure it doesn't cease up or go into spasm again!
I feel so bloody down about it - first the kids have both had tonsilitus this year - DS twice, DD came home from her fathers Sunday soooo tired from being allowed to stay up and watch Nancy results and then doing a cycle marathon on Sunday (she is 7!) so cue huge argements with her father who says I am over protective - but he isn't the one who has to cope when she gets ill from being over tired and now with my back as well I feel like a bloody pensioner!!!
AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
Any back people who can give me any tips I would be very grateful - do I go and see an osteopath or chiroprator or just keep taking the pills and sit it out???
Am super miserable!
