Are there any fellow sufferers out there?
I've had an achey back for many years. Two or three times in the past eight years or so I've had episodes of real pain. This has been brought on by simple, small movements, nothing major and would last a day or two.
I've been in a lot of pain since Christmas eve. Not sure if it was brought on by lots of bobbing up and down getting things out of cupboards, wrapping gifts, lifting things (awkwardly since my wrist is still very weak). I'm not aware of a specific movement having caused it.
I saw an osteopath a couple of years ago who said there didn't appear to be any specific damage so it was basically just bad luck that I had wear an tear.
I've been taking nurofen plus and using heat packs on the advice of a pharmacist but there really isn't any relief from the pain.
Any advice?
