Post by JeffB on Oct 25^th, 2006, 1:08pm

Smaller jugs

an hour message should work out most pain and make her feel like a million dollars. The cost is resonable and you can find a person who gives messages in beauty saloons such as JCPenny's, athletic clubs, or independants in the phone book.

Physical therapy provided by her dr and medical clinic will also help.

Heat, ice, heat, ice, heat.... switch every 15 mins.

The five buldging discs in my back swear by this method ;;D

I don't see how smaller jugs that would help that much, and it would be expensive and involve surgery.

She was lifting water.

Just my thoughts.

Advice here will run the gamut I am sure. The couple of back injuries I have had, were treated with ibuprofen and just getting back to work. Things always came back into place after a few days of just going through the old motions. Rest never did anything for me but delay recovery. JMO

One day of rest, then get active.

Alternate the heat/cold, and make him give you lots of massages.

Capsaicin cream is good for pain relief (symptoms only) - but don't combine it with a hot-pack.

Glucosamine is good for rebuilding soft tissue like cartilage (which might be injured, depending on what went on inside the back).

See if a recliner helps. It can have a traction-like effect.

Nasty all night erotic sex with an ex husband should work.

Next time get your lazy ass over there and pick up the jug for her! ;;D

Therapy: I would say have some drinks, have sex, and make sure your not by yourself while doing either one! ;;D

Just a thought,

If pain does not subside after 3 days go see a doctor and maybe get some Xrays ..

All the best Sybil, my turn to pray for you for painfree days and nights :-*
