I’m going to have to cancel.

Although I get lots of back aches and pains with osteoporosis I m still quite supple and have always been a floor person it’s funny I was thinking about this the other day how I still automatically sit on the floor when I watch tv with all the chairs empty ???
I d love to watch the ‘bum up’ arising Nfkdumpling

How do you all get up from the floor? Now I can no longer kneel I try to avoid sitting on the ground or floor but if I do then I get up like a baby - bum stuck up first. I avoid doing this when there’s anybody watching. Anybody.

I can't agree more. We do this every week in Pilates. As you know it's one of the most effective and simplest moves to 'loosen' up that nerve.

Another simple one is: stand straight, drop your chin onto your chest and slowly bend down as far as you can go. Imagine that your slowly releasing each vertebrae. Come up slowly, still with the chin on the chest.
If that doesn't work, Tramadol with full strength ibruprofen,
That hits the spot

Oh Luckygirl....not doable when disc is well and truly slipped....I was talking about when I get warning signs.....and its an exercise I do anyway....when tolerably fit....it keeps stuff subtle....and that's what I've learned ....back problems do need you to be brave and keep moving (under medical advise of course)

See the Doctor, I had to cancel a walking holiday recently due to bad Asthma, informed the travel company, but the Doctor refused to give me a certificate for the Insurance Company, said the holiday and sunshine would do me good! as I couldn’t even have walked to the arrivals hall at the airport, there was no way I was going on holiday, I’m still trying to get a letter from the surgery to at least confirm that I had an Asthma problem, paid them £30 for it too! But nothing so far.

But how do you get up from the floor!!?? When I had slipped disc I could not even have got down on the floor, let alone up!!!

Howjado - definitely tell the insurance company right now!

Whenever I get the dreaded sciatica pains.....3 incidents of slipped discs over life....I lie down on the floor on my back and gently bring my knees up as far as I can and clasp them with my arms and form a sort of rocking posture - I gently rock back and forth a dozen or so times. Its an exercise my trainer showed me. I do it a couple of times a day always gently but methodically and grip a little tighter if I can. Its great for freeing up the vertebra.
P.S. tell insurance company asap and you will need medical proof - had to cancel a holiday years ago for exactly same reason. Touch wood I have not had it nearly so bad....fingers crossed!!!!

Tell your insurance company now. They may not pay out if you don't. You'll need a doctor's note, too.

I hope you can go on your trip another time.

Oh what a rotten shame for you
I think you need to inform your insurance company now
Hope that your treatments work for you and hope that you have many more holidays to enjoy
