Back Painnnnnnnn

A slipped disc is really awful. I had been going to a clinic for low income and uninsured persons. Now I have medicare and can go to a specialist if they are on my plan and take new medicare patients. That can sometimes be a problem I was told of three options: exercise, pain pills or surgery. I was advised against the latter two unless necessary. I have been living with and managing the pain but now it is going down my leg and into my foot. I am going to have to see a doctor and discuss options available like maybe a back brace or physical therapy. It might be wise for you to see a doctor. I let mine go too long and made it worse. You want to be real careful with back pain. It can't hurt to check it out.

Well, I notice that if I sit here for a long time it occurs more often than not. It's not a constant thing thank goodness. I was hoping I wouldn't have to see the dr if I just take small breaks from this now and then. I hope your back pain is resolved soon, a slipped disc does sound painful. What can they do for it? For me it's when I have not moved around for awhile cause if I change where I'm sitting after awhile it goes away.

Yea, that is my biggest problem when I'm on here, I sit for too long in one position and don't get up every hour to move around. As soon as I got up from here last night and sat on the couch instead it helped alot.

I find I get like that if I stay in the same position. I switch spots whether its lying on my stomach, holding the laptop up, or sitting up. But I find I get it almost immediately the pain, so I get so uncomfortable and have to move.

I didn't need a pill thank goodness, and although I probably would have benefited from a massage I didn't need that either. I feel better right now.

I sit on a pillow here at the computer cause of the way this chair is too low for the table. I should put one behind me too, thanks for that info. I try to change positions or get up and walk around if I feel any pain, it does help yes.
