Achy Breaky Back

United States
July 13, 2016 3:19pm CST
AS some of you may know, I have arthritis in my back. The last couple of years it has seemed to have gotten worse. I use to just feel pain in my lower back, but now it even hurts up to my neck. Some times when I move just right it feels like I'm having a charly horse. Part of my back just gets stiff. It use to just hurt when I was standing too long, but as I mentioned it's in my upper back as well. So eve sitting brings no relief. I sometimes have to lay on the bed, usually on one side, as I can't lay on my back because it's like one big spasm on my back. I overdid it the other day pulling weeds and mowing so the last couple of days I've been taking it real easy. But housework had to get done and my back hurts whether I'm doing anything or not. Some times when my back is like one big spasm and I can't move, I often wonder the worse..what if I should become paralyzed? But I do a lot of praying I was thinking of this song, when I was thinking of a title to this post ~Peace~ photo courtesy of pixabay

Do you take something before you go out to do manual labor. I always took something before I went jogging and it really helped. My daughter has back issues too. Hope you are okay.

Ow. That's how I describe my back at times, though lately it's more my achy breaky legs. :( I hope that you are feeling better since this post.

I'm sorry. Ain't no fun at tall. I have decided that since I need to buy groceries etc. i will do so even though I am terribly bent these days. Just the way it is and others will just have to like it.

And i remember the step of the song. Standing for a long period can make the back hurting too
