You geet soft bastards, ye . . . . just get on with it and stop whingeing on here, man 





I wish it was as easy as that
Although I like jack Daniels
But alcohol dosnt work

I slipped a disc in my lower back a couple of weeks ago - it's now causing me problems on my shoulder (frozen shoulder) and down my leg into my knee(sciatic nerve) especially so when I'm driving , I tried get it fixed reputable chiropractor it only seem to make matters worse - alcohol works for he pain management

If this is a pinched nerve, then it means your muscles have not settled exactly where they should sit naturally.
The best thing to do is to put a jacket on and go for a run, start to use your muscles so that they contract and retract, heat up and start to relax. A bath will maybe help temporarily but you're not using your muscles, so you'll probably end up just loosening a knot that'll tighten right back up again when your temperature drops back to normal out of the bath.
Massage the back of the shoulder, around the top of the spine, most nerve issues up top originate from the spine, when your central or peripheral nervous system is slightly misaligned.
Rowing motions, (Seated rows if you've got a gym) require a lot of upper back muscles to squeeze and move, so I'd recommend that.
If it's a pinched nerve, then it's not an injury, so just blast out some exercise until your body naturally restores order.
If it's a torn rotator cuff, then you'll probably try to do a seated row and end up crying like a girl and running home, but at least you'll know![]()
I stubbed my big toe last night.
Sympathy returned.
Can we have the short version.
Back pain is a bitch!
If you've never had it don't take the piss out of the rest of us who have!
Without an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan your problem is purely speculative and chiropractic is pure guesswork (and could do a lot of damage). Acupuncture will help relieve the pain.
There is no such thing as a 'slipped disc' (the disc cannot move but becomes inflamed and presses on the nerves running down the spine causing excruciating pain which only a fellow back pain sufferer will understand. An operation is required where a piece of the vertebrae is removed allowing the inflamed part of the disc to retreat into the cavity and take the pressure (and the pain) away. Continuing to work (as there are no outward signs many people (and practitioners) will assume you are 'swinging the lead' and tell you to 'work it off) will eventually cause the disc to prolapse and if you thought you were in pain beforehand it is nothing compared to the pain you will suffer then. This requires surgery with an operation called a 'Laminectomy' where the prolapsed disc is removed and the vertebrae are fused together.
I suffered this many years ago and whereas I can carry out a pretty active life for a 77 year old the problem is that the scar tissue from the operation has grown like an octopus and has entwined itself around the sciatic nerves in my lower back. Some days I am unable to get out of bed but I have learned to live within the parameters of the pain barriers I have developed over the years.
My advice for anyone suffering 'pinched nerves' dislocations' or any back problems is to find a way to get an MRI scan (I am not familiar with the medical situation in the UK but my Granddaughter (in the UK) is suffering from a disc complaint and can obtain no treatment whatsoever - I find this quite odd when thousands of people are flocking into the UK and are receiving free medical treatment - but I do not wish to harp on about that subject).
The spine is a very delicate part of a human's anatomy and injury to it can result in becoming a paraplegic or quadriplegic.
Please be careful and try and get some professional treatment somehow. I know what you are going through.
Rant over - back to the soccer. (sorry).

On the plus side, my consultant, years ago said that as I got older my particular back problems would ease up as the spine slowly fuses together.
On the other hand I now have different back problems, to compensate
And a did you know moment....
The key to a strong back is a strong front! Exercising your stomach muscles provides great support for your spine! The likes of Terry and V-Joe will know that already.
