Chronic Back Pain
I am suffering from chronic back pain since last year. I have already done cervical MRI and the doctor found out I have a mild slip disc. After a series of PT, I still have them. It's so frustrating to feel the pain especially when you are working...I did a lot fo online research, found some threads with lots of responses from people who have the same problem and I have a feeling that I have herniated disc somewhere in my thoracic part..3 days back, I went to two clinic for check up but unfortunately, both OP were on leave...so frustrating....
Initial treatment of the poor back pain relief, less elastic and more pain to be felt to prevent soft tissue (muscles, tendons and ligaments) are especially important in the case of injury low back pain.
neelia,
I am suffering from the same issue. I am using chiropractic treatment for the back pain. for you last posting. please do a detailed study before going for surgery.
Hi, i'm waiting for the contact number please..
I just got discharged from the hospital after a surgery fr disc prolapse,i was suffering since one year,last year MRI scan they said it is L4,last month i got severe pain, i couldnt stand,sit or sleep,immediately i met neurology doctor in hmc as my back pain was radiating to my right leg,
luckily i got very good doctor,got operated on thursday,i was discharged on saturday, now i am totally free from my pain.
If u need details of doctor send me PM.
Lose weight. Excess load can stress the spine.
Maintain good sitting posture during work. Foot flat on the floor.
Protect your back from cold ACs during long exposures. Wear coat if possible or position your chair opposite the cold source.
Do the stretch (pain-reliever therapy):
-If alone, lie on a single-size bed, facing right side. Extend your left leg further forward. Then slowly turn your body to the left side letting the weight of your left leg to pull your back muscles until you hear a popping sound. A refreshing snap actually. Repeat facing the left side also.
-If with companion, snag your arms back-to-back and let your companion carry you by leaning forward. You will hear the same resfreshing popping sound.
Do other safe stretching routines you can imagine (like the cat does).
i agree with happy :) consult your doctor first...

you better consult your doctor before u try something especially yogas when u say your back pain is severe.
Happy,
Correct, my suggestion doesn't replace a professional advice.
It’s just a simple and safe way to stretch the back and therefore to alleviate pressure that we build up by sitting all day in the office.
I would recommend before starting Yoga to consult an orthopedic surgeon, as what may be good for one may not be so for the other even though the symptoms may seem the same to us. Just to be on the safe side, not saying what nic is saying is or may not be good.

Initially it will look more like this:
THanks...I will definitely check this out...
neelia,
i suppose you can find it in Virgin shop at Villagio.
You can find some guidelines on line.
The position I am suggesting you (you can start with this one) is the following:
Try to remaining the last position as much as you can letting your head approach very slowly the floor without forcing, just let it go with the gravity.
Yeah, I am actually interested to try this...do you have any idea where to buy Yoga CD? i cant' afford to take regular yoga from any gym...
I recommend yoga.
If you could do this movement very morning when you wake up and evening before going to bed, you will alleviate all pressure in the back:
With your straight legs and straight back just bend down your head towards the floor. Don’t force it; just let your head approach slowly the floor, only by the gravity effects... try to be in the position at least 5 minutes always aiming to reach the floor with your head.
It won’t happen immediately, maybe it will never happen, but the process will stretch your back and will certainly alleviate.
Again, try to practice yoga. It will have a positive impact as most of back pains are caused by lack of stretching.
I have the same issue.....excercise is the best option. start out light & build up. you have to strengthen your core, by losing weight & doing abdominal crunches etc. its all easier said than done.....
