bad back - anyway of stopping it happening

[tink123]

I have had a bad back on and off for almost ten years and two or three times every year I get back strain bad enough to be off work for 3-4 days and it gets so bad it is agony to move.

I am almost 5 stone overweight and am doing well on a diet.

Has anyone lost loads of weight and has it made a different??

Hi whats your mattress like? I got one of those memory foam ones recently as my back ached, though not as bad as yours. It took a bit of getting used to but I would definatley recommend it. Have a look on Ebay, mine came with free pillows, and free delivery!
