My Neptunes Bed spiky thing has been great at keeping problems away. Fall asleep on the bugger these days for an hour or more. The endorphins it encourages are marvellous! Sounds in a way a bit like mass acupuncture. I found that very effective to free up a stiff neck some years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst pain ever was trapped nerve in back of neck after RTA Felt like a continuous 415V electric shock down to tip of my fingers NHS fannied around with massage , stretches etc for ages before a young maid just over from India asked if she could basically put head and neck in a rack to separate the discs.

superkev Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I had L5/S1 nerve compression from the disc. Part of the disc broke off. Couldn’t get up off the floor, had to have an operation. Got permanent nerve damage in my foot and I walk with a funny gait and can’t stand on my tip toes on my right leg. I sympathise with anyone who has back trouble. It’s horrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve no feeling in the top of my left foot, the big toe or halfway up my shin. Got the TENS machine on for 60 mins at a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blondi Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Has anybody taken any decent muscle relaxants on prescription? I've got a busted right sacroiliac joint and when I go away, my back can start to play up, especially when sleeping on a different mattress, I really could do with some pills, just in case of an emergeny back problem when I'm on holiday.

It’s more popular than ever according to the number of people going to the doctors with it. And I can tell you that nothing comes close in terms of pain. Nothing. I’ve broken bones and that pain is a tickle compared to gout. I’d rather have Boris as PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's almost word for word what the physio said about my knee injury - both on the NHS and then the one I paid for. Basically rested it, lost weight, did more excerise and was fine! 'Do more excerise and stop being so lazy' seem to solve 99% of problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
