Back Spasms Are One Of The Worse Pains!

Hi there, i did carry my baby to full term (i actually went 2 days over with her) yeah it canbe very painful

Hi Meljessxena I can only imagine how being pregnant and having pre existing back issues at the same time can be quite painful. Were you able to carry your baby to full term? And your right carrying a baby does press on the spine as my 3 kids did when I was carrying them everything seems to be pushed back or scrunched up to accomodate the baby such as your spine,kidneys,bladder and some other stuff to more than likely. I remember my back used to hurt a lot when I was close to my delivery date was of course when it hurt the most

Hi Elic Wow I wasn't aware the corn cause inflammation never heard of that one before! I didn't think about having a food allergy could cauase problems in the back area but if its happening to you than it must be true/ You've been having back problems for a very long time 30 years is a long time to go through that even if it is off and on but I imagine your quite used to it by now I am familiar with PHENO BARB a friend of mine took that

its a problem, but I guess if you live with pain, there does come a point where you have to decide what hurts the worst and go after that first...

Hi Chinna Your right sitting in front of the PC or just plain sitting to long can do that every now and then just like you said one should get up and move around a bit to stretch the spine out when we sit our disc become compressed and for a lot of people who suffer with back pain being in a sitting position for to long can cause whatever back issue they may have to flair up

Hi Lynnemg Wow 2 back surgeries a neighbor of mine went through the same thing they put steel rods in her back and then had to go back in again I think she had something like bone spurs anyway it was serious and the surgery was needed I bet thats kinda scary getting back surgery my son had it for a hyrniated disc they had to take our about 40-50% of the disc but he made a full recovery and a quick one too. He feels much better and is able to really have the range of motion he used to have before he had the surgery. I do sleep with a pillow between my knees and that help straighten the spine better and it works pretty good I do some back stretching exercises my doctor gave me and they help as well

Both of my surgeries were to correct a herniated disc....the same one both times. After the first surgery, I felt so much better, I thought I was Superwoman and did way too much way too soon. As a result, I reinjured that disc and had to have it fixed again. The surgeries were only 3 months apart, and needless to say, I took it a lot easier the second time. I still do the stretches the surgeon recommended, my range of motion is still pretty good, but not as good as it once was. Unfortunately, I also have other problems with my back that effect everything as well. They are not bad enough for surgery, which is a good thing because I am not ready to go through that again, but they are bad enough to effect my day-to-day life and put limitations on what I am able to do. In addition to sleeping with a pillow under my knees and a heating pad on my back, I also have a memory foam matress on my bed and I frequently take long, hot baths. I do my best to stay away from any kind of pain medication though. I feel that there are other ways to deal with it and pain meds are my very last resort.

He has been to the doctor and was prescribed the pain pills as well as medication for muscle spasms. His back is better but still not where it should be. I'm going to try to get him back in to the doctor next week. They took x-rays and said that nothing is fractured or broken but at some point this should be getting better.

Hi Lauren Uh Oh that doesn't sound to good sorry to hear your husband is in such pain has he spoken with a doctor about what he should do about it? He shouldn't keeping popping pain pills as it does nothing for the cause but of course it works for the symptoms (sometimes) but if nothing seems to be helping him maybe he should really consider seeing someone to get it evaluated Also the pain pills will stop working as his body may build up an immunity to them

Hi Stellar Sorry to hear about your back issues even though I don't have Scoliosis I used to work with a girl who did and she was in pain she would have to leave work sometimes because it got so bad and it seemed to be constant just like you said I'm not sure what Tramadol is but it sounds like a very powerful pain reliever

Hi Laydee Oh yes I take my calcium thank goodness my back doesn't go out very much at all maybe once or twice a year it used to happen more often than that I try not to over do it when I exercise and stretch before and after also like I said in my earlier post I do the back exercises my doctor gave me to do I am not trying to go under the knife unless I really have to becaue I am a big ckicken when it comes to the thought of having to go under the knife for my back

Ouch Diamania Fell flat on your back now thats painful especially depending on how far you fell and from what did you fall from? And yes 19 is pretty young for back pain wait until your 40 don't be surprised if the pain doesn't come more frequent unfortunatley

Hi INCUS Sounds like either your a DOCTOR or you did your homework!! Thanks for the info have you ever experienced any back pain or spasms?

Hi Mister Whoever gave you that advice about lifteing with your legs instead of your back gave you some pretty good advice! A 300 pound door is pretty heavy as well as awkward to lift he should have had some help with it(or did he have help and his back went out anyway)
