Oh my aching back!

For back pains (also works on sinus infections)

Mix 2 tsp Apple cider vinegar into 1 cup water add 2 tsp honey to sweeten it if you like, drink it.

I drink 2 tsp apple cider vinegar mixed in hot tap water.

Make a cup for Grandpa too!

I have a bad back too started at 18 years old it sucks I know. Ibuprofen works for me or the chiropracter sometimes. Good luck feel better. Maybe punching someone else in the face might make ya feel better I got a couple candidates out here for ya lol.

Inversion is not for everyone but it sure helps me.

I also take I-be- brokens (Ibuprofen)

I've been wanting an inversion table for a while now. Unfortunately the ceilings in my apartments have never been high enough to allow one lol.

I only know that my back was aching, it felt like it was in knots and I couldn't get any relief, I read somewhere that the mixture would help, thought what the heck, tried it and it relaxed me.....then, when I had a sinus infection I tried it, man what a relief! I wouldn't had believed it if I hadn't tried it myself. Yes, I have heard it will help relive arthritis pains, but I don't have any first hand knowledge.

You know what works just as well for me as inversion, which I don't do because it makes me too dizzy--I have some vertigo, and upside down is totally out of the question. When I saw Richard Gere in American Gigolo using the gravity boots, I felt intuitively that it would make my back feel better but I couldn't stand it upside down. I thought it must work just as well to hang right side up if the object is, as in gravity boots, to let your body act as it's own dead weight. So, I find a bar (many gyms, playgrounds, or fitness courses at parks, etc.) that has a height taller than me, feet totally off the ground, and hang from your hands and let your body act as dead weight. Don't let feet touch ground, or use any resistance effort, just hang limp like a dead weight as long as you can stand it. You might have to repeat it a few times if your hands want to give out before a minute or so. This has always straightened out whatever is going on in my lower, and the ache totally goes away. I was in a car accident in my 20's in which my lower back was injured. 30yrs later I get lower back aches all the time if I lift too much, etc. This method always takes away the back ache for me. Maybe it sounds too wierd, but it works.

Sounds interesting I will have to try it, also I find that my body is telling me I need to drink more water when my back starts hurting and I haven't been lifting much. Also have you introduced yourself, I would like to give you an official "welcome to the board".

Removing the wallet from back pocket then the belt going to suspenders helped me.
