an absolute cure rot the DISTRESS of back achs

hit head on by a drunk driver followed by cancer followed by a heart atack and ultimately a pacemaker. I was ,for 2 yers ,unable to work, get out of the house and, largely unable to get out of bed. Reciently I have started to work my scrap pile again working my self up to five or six hours a day, and when my day is done, my back is screaming, but thank you Lord, I love every minite of it. just my thoughts.

sry yhe heading should read for*

I'm sure parrothead will have a remedy for you...or you could order some tamorol from Canada,! Seriously, I wish I had some of your "grit and guts". Sorry you hurt, but your attitude is to be admired.

dont feel sory for me that wasent the Intent. the intent was how wounderfull it is to be able to enjoy the back ach, fron doing something productive. i figgured my number was up baack in VN several times, after that I figgured every thing else was gravy.

olddude, I said I was sorry you hurt, not that I feel sorry for you. You do not come across at all like a guy I'd feel sorry for.

I can relate. It is indeed grand to be up again after being down for an extended period. Keep it up.

Yep. Some good old TAMAROL! Or whatever that stuff was.

Keep at it. It will get easier I hope.

Thanks. Needed that laugh!

Do you have absorbant junior in the states, my paraplegic buddy uses it and "rub a535" it works wonders for him, It would be my pleasure to send a bottle/tube down to you. You guys are truly a blessing, I have learned alot in a short time from this forum. I am a survival\ scrapper, I work on a farm but thats only during seeding and harvest, so this is what pays the bills when I am not working, i honestly feel like you all are kin folk. Thanks again and OLDDUDE you are an inspiration, heck all of you are!

I have been using something called Biofreeze for my leg/foot pain. It works pretty well also. Saroro, congrats on that baby girl! I have 2 girls and a boy myself.

hey olddude, i been reading some of your old threads, hence the bump of this old thread.
have you tried a kneeling chair? http://www.medicalinsider.com/images/kneelingchair.jpg
google "kneeling chair" and you will find many different designs.

they may look uncomfortable but are actually very comfortable and forces you to maintain good posture.
try sitting in one, you will be amazed at the comfort... as long as your knees are in reasonable health. perhaps ask your doctor
anyhow, they are great to take the pressure off your back and puts it on your knees... cheers!
