Please note that I have no relationship with the products or services I describe here. I developed this site partly to encourage me to put more effort into fixing my own back, but also to inspire others to go take control of their own back care.

Hopefully you may find some of the ideas here useful, and maybe can discuss them with your doctor.

Occasional Issue

by Tim
(Oakwood, TX)

After reading some of the stories from the contributors on this page, I feel very fortunate. There has only been a couple of times I've had problems. I believe that it is caused by spasms, but am not sure.

I'm 50, and I do exercise, daily if possible. The first time my back went out, it was while exercising. While standing from a squat, I leaned back a bit further than my back was ready for, and that was it. I was crawling for the rest of the day. It cleared up, and I've been trying to be more consious of my limitations.

Yesterday, I finished stretching, and started to work out, and the same pain started creeping back until I had to stop exercising. I'm not even going to try today.

I believe that the colder temps have something to do with it, so I'm trying to keep covered up.

I hope the viewers of this page find some relief. Back pain greatly reduces quality of life, and makes the sufferer feel like a burden to friends, and family.
