Cocking your back up

[Juniper]

Is there any worse pain than back pain?.

 

Fell down some stairs while on a night out on Saturday (pissed, takeaway's stairs were slippy etc etc). Landed on the edge of the stairs on my back. Everytime I move my body I have the most sharpest pain known to human kind, this is worse than man-flu.

 

It'll pass with time though, but I can't imagine the constant discomfort people with long term back problems have on a daily basis.

 

Does anyone on here suffer with back problems? if so how do you cope?

It's horrible isn't it. I have only ever had it really bad once. I literally wanted to cry. I just drunk a lot and took a lot of cocodeine, and walked about 12 miles until it stopped hurting. I've had some back pain recently, but only when I really exert myself, playing footy and what have you. That's why I am doing Pilates. It's really good for your core strength and so helps prevent these kind of injuries.*

I fell down the stairs about 8 years ago and broke the end off my tail bone. It did smart a bit. It still hurts when I sit on my backside for too long, which is most of the time.

Seriously will not go down, the pain's getting worse by the day. Dreading having to get up to go to the loo in a bit.

Maybe I will just dribble down my leg onto the floor, all pathetic like.

 

I've had shoulder problems all my life, which is down to a number of things. I've been told a handful of times to try Pilates but I'm silly like that. Too nervous to try something that will benifit me and my health

(Plus I am worried I will fart while stretching/busting pilates moves)

I've heard aids is a shitter.

Go and see a chiropractor in the first instance.

 

I would suggest that being a drummer with a dodgy back and iffy shoulders is not great... :(

Sounds very painful that!! silly question, but what happened to the broken bit of bone? did they have to remove it? or is it still in there?

 

And

 

Were you pissed whilst clutching a pile of chips and savloy sausage which you purchased with your last £2 and went all over the wet floor?.

AIDS are for gays, litrally

I'm going to wait for a few days before panicing, I'm sure whatever I hit is just bruised and very pissed off with me.

 

You're right. Seems like my career might not be as long as I wish it be.

Pilates is fine, it's just a bit, erm, tantric. It's all dolphin noises and stuff until you learn the basics. Then you can do more.

 

If you have a hard floor, you could try lying on your back, then lifting your legs up (bent) so that you can put your hands on the tops of your shins, or in the gap under your knee. Then gently rock from side to side.

 

EDIT: Pilates is good for fucked up postures too.

Saw a chiropractor after I did it this weekend. I felt paralysed!

Reminds me of one of my work colleagues (female) - came into work on a Monday with a big graze and bruise on her chin. Asked her what she'd done - been out over the weekend, got hammered and went to the chippy.

 

Walking to the taxi rank, goes over on her stupid six-inch heel and goes base over apex. Instead of dropping her chips and protecting herself, she decides the best option was just to smash her chin on the floor. :wallbutt:

 

Was still proud of the fact she hadn't dropped her chips, mind!

Every possibility it will sort itself out, but there's every likelihood the shoulder problems could be related to posture. A chiropractor would probably be able to give you an idea whether that's got anything to do with it.

I love dressing up like a pirate.

 

PS. To all you non believers in Adams pseudoexercise routine, he'll be all bendy in his 80's while you weightlifting grocks will be all hunched and arthritic in your 50's. Hehe.

 

 

"There was a boy called Adam,

Who was really trendy,

Even when he was 79,

he was really bendy."

 

 

The End.

I'll take up Pilates in time, think it's about time I gave in to all the advice. Bet I'll look all Mr Motivator in my lycra suit.

I remember being very gutted about my chips lying in a puddle, good on her, she had the right idea!!! Got to get your priorities in order.

I think the way I drum (hunched back and leaning forward) might have something to do it. I try not to drum as much as I used to.

Since I cut back to about 5 hours practice a week I haven't had the problem as much as when I was playing for about 20hours per week.

 

First buggered it up about five years ago whilst lifting an iron bath out of a van on my own when I worked in a plumbers merchant, that's what started it.

 

Those gits are heavy!

It's still in there, but it's never been right since. I'd gone into my son's room in the morning, and he was wet so I took his nappy off, and folded it up to take downstairs to put it in the bin. I picked him up and had him in one arm and the nappy in the other hand. As I got to the top stair I dropped the nappy, and stepped on it. It projected me down the stairs at speed but because I had hold of the baby, I couldn't put my hands out to break my fall, so my bum took the brunt on every stair on the way down, while I was trying my hardest not to drop him.

 

The weird thing is, he must have been about 9 months old, and he still says "Do you remember when we fell down the stairs?" He's 10 now. Kids' memories are amazing.

 

Sorry you lost your sausage.

Bloody hell, sounds like breaking your tail bone was a good thing. Could have been nasty otherwise. Motherly love rules!. Glad he was ok.

 

I will have my revenge on all sausages soon! Jnp will be back!

[Rashid]

What did you do to yours?

 

Bent down to pic up a tray and if went.. right on the spin just above my arse.... it felt horrid.

[kopitegaz]

My back is killing me. For the past few days, it feels like I've taken a good kicking all over my back. Seems to ease later in the the day though. Not sure what thats all about as I havent actually taken a kicking, havent fallen over or (to the best of my knowledge) bumped into something. Although I do have a habit of bumping into things and then days later thinking "where's that bruise come from?".

[mattyq]

I'd think about an osteopath rather than a chiropracter - it's more massage and heat lamps and you don't have to do anything whereas chiro's want to crack your back and do all sorts of strange things

[RedinSweden]

I have sore knees. Today is the first time in a week they have felt ok having had the fuck kicked out of them in last week's match. I am playing tomorrow. Just in time!

There's only one thing worse than cocking your back up, and that's backing your cock up.

I winced reading this.. sounds horrendous

[GOLDMEMBER]

I have a back condition called degenerative disc syndrome, it means iv got no cartlige between two of my disc, i must say its a killer, when its really bad i get shooting pains down my leg like im pissing myself.

[ATXRED]

Yes, there is a worse pain, and that is pulling your groin so severely that it hurts your balls almost constantly.
