have u tried the heat pads u stick on ur t shirt? I find them brilliant if I get a backache which I occasionally do, failing that a hot water bottle, I know it's not the weather but if it helps, pain relief too, 2 paracetamol then 2 hrs 2 ibuprofen, u can take them all together but I find it better to split them. hope this helps xx 

Thank you Addison 5712 ...il give it a go especially after the stretching exercises....thanks again...🤗x

listen to your body and pamper yourself 

Also, don't sit down for long periods of time, the more u keep moving the easier it'll be xx 

The chap at the clinic thinks it's stress and mindfulness might help....I don't think I could imagine this pain but there is some truth in it I suppose. I'm always on high alert so what you say is cool. Thank you ...so cross it happened swimming... thank you guys x 🤗🤗🤗 

I occasionally practise mindfulness cuz it help with bp and hr xx 

Maybe the chap at the clinic meant that stress could affect your physical health? For example, people can suffer from muscular or nervous tension? Maybe he just want you to try to relax? Also, could you consider maybe using a tens machine? Everyone's different, but the tens machine has helped me with back pain.  

Thank you guys....I think its going to take time and a bit of relaxation of the mind and body....really hard though lol...thanks again and you all take care...xxx🤗 

There's a youtube yoga by boho beautiful specifically for the back which I've tried before and found really helpful for me 

Hi I don't know your age but I suffer from fibromyalgia and back pain i am well into my 60s as well I have neuropathy. I do yoga following a Canadian lady call Sandra she is a yoga teacher specialised for older people or people with difficulties or new to yoga you find her channel on YouTube called Northern Zen Yoga. I tried with others but it hurted badly with her I feel so much better. I stopped for few months due to family issue and moving and again I was in terrible pain started gentle yoga a week ago and already feeling much better and more energetic. Have a look at at her videos there are some gentle stretching for 30 or 45 mns I find them really helpful 😊 Take care of yourself.  

I hope the back pains easing off🤞🏻 

Am really sorry ur living with pain … no advice I can give but sending you hugs & healing vibes through prayer xxx 

have live with pain pretty much most of my adult life so know how grinding it can be. these days I rely on a tems machine that zaps the pain away.  

Thank you for all your comments....I will definitely do some research on the yoga and tenzzzz machine...lucky physio has come through but I need to keep moving and stretching...big thanks really appreciate all your kind comments and prayers 😇😊🤗 

I would recommend light yoga and stretching. If it's your upper back and shoulders them the stress comment from your physio could be right as it could be involuntary tightening of shoulders and back. If you haven't pulled or strained anything then light slow excersise is allows good. Good luck and hope you can sort it out. Keep us updated we're rooting for you!
