Iam having terrible back pain for two months.I got this as a reward for working in an IT company.The last vertebra of the spine pains like anything.I cant sit in chair for 30mints.I have to consult a doctor and iam totally fed up coz of this.Iam thinking of others who suffers with chronic diseases and i realise what is pain now.Money is not matters always health is important in life .Now i understood it clearly.So people take care of your health.Plan healthy living.I feel like dying now.In this painful situation also i want to talk to mylotters :)Take care

Thanks vidya for bringing this up. I work in IT and have also had lots of problems in the past. I have done things like tai chi, yoga and swimming over the years, all of which I think helped me maintain my body health. I have been to physios a bit(just once or twice) and had lots of massages. I have been pretty slack again in this department and with work and mylotting that isn't a good thing. Even if you can walk for 30 mins a day, whe you are well enough to do so, I hope it gets better. I went to a cultural fest on the weekend and got a Chinese massage from some people up from another town. They said I was very tight in lots of areas, so I really needed the massage which did hurt a bit.

Thanks for your response.People like u and me will know this pain.I cannot go for massages coz iam from orthodox family.Iam on leave for four days and planned to go to a doctor.Afraid if there is any dislocation and that would lead to surgery.I may quit my job soon and going to switch over to teaching.If i continue in IT then i will die soon.Please pray for me that i should get well soon.

I am jogging every day and this is few diseases I ever suffer. I believe it will do good to you. It will not take you a long time and it will not make you tired. And I some time suffer bach pain because of sitting before the PC for a long time. A short nap on bed will get rid of it.

Oh I think I can relate with you. I had a rare virus when I was 17 that settled in my lower spinal cord. I went through therapy for about 2 months. And what I noticed is that I easily get tired and I cant stay standing for really long hours. Or if I do and I lie down, I feel intense pain that I have to keep my back straight on the floor and sleep it over. The doctors said, it happens like 1 out of every 100,000. I don't know how I could've prevented it. It was airborne.
