ooh my back!!

[luv2swim4evr]

Hi, just wanted some advise......

I had a back injury going back 14 years ago then it seemed to get better. then going back 2 years ago i pulled my back again and not really been the same since but ok.

The problem is im not to bad in the day after few hours of getting up but from around 6 in the morning i wake up in pain and the pain goes from lower back and alot in my hips then down my legs and cant keep still ( my poor hubby has top keep rubbing my hip)
We bought a foam mattress topper but has made it worse really,

what do i do? what sort of mattress? do i need cod liver oil or something?

Just wondered if you had tried any therapies for back pain??

Have you seen your GP?

Do you sleep on your side? I always find that my tendency to low back pain / sciatica is worse if I sleep on one side. The top leg almost always ends up falling over the other one putting a twist on the lower back / hip. I find that when I put a long pillow [bolster] alongside me from shoulder level to beyond my knees this improves my back pain because I am not able to twist. The bolster supports the top leg and the top arm - keeping my spine in a reasonably straight line.

I am biased, given that I offer Bowen & Emmett techniques which I find give good relief for back pain and sciatica, but they are worth considering.

Good luck

JJ

Sealy Posturepedic mattress that is pocket sprung and memory foam is what you need.

It worked for me. Cheapest place to get it from a website called mattressnextday.co.uk

let me know how you get on

EFT is the thing for back problems, Katherine - works like a charm in most cases, particularly if it's the result of an accident.

You can find an EFT practitioner near you at AAMET.org
