I am out of work-back injury

Feel better...but look at it this way, you have a couple of extra days off to relax before the wedding!

FEEL BETTER
I emailed u at work today but it wasnt anything important

Feel better Jenn. I sympathize. I just started my fourth month out of work. I never thought it would be this long.

Use that heating pad. It really helps for bad back pain.

OUCH! Back pain Sucks!

When you get the script filled let me know. I am a back pain pro (I have a bad back due to last years car accident)

I was in physical therapy for 6 months and got some great tips (though recently nothing is helping)

I was taking relafin which is an inflamotory script and it works ok but it did nothing for me but FI's cousin it worked great for. I am taking celebrex and its definatly the best invention. I also use icy hot on my back before I go to sleep (I feel like I am marinating myself, noxzema on the face, vapor rub on the chest when i am congested, ice hot on the back)

when you go to sleep put a pillow under your legs, like shamma suggested definatly strong abs are great for the back and posture.

Yoga is very good for back problems because it helps you stretch and keep you limber. Always bend at the knees when lifting packages, when you sit at your desk (this is important) get one of those back rests. Get the flat one. also when you are typing keep both feet flat on the floor and sit up straight. Try not to sit for more then 20 minutes at a time. Get up walk around the office, get a glass of water, go to the ladies room, etc...

These were some of the tips I got when I was in PT.

I am trying to think of some exercises that are good, but hard to describe when typing. most of them are stretching exercies.

Definatly get plenty of rest and try to stay off your feet as much as possible

Feel better darling. Sounds like a good excuse to put your feet up and catch up on those Jerry Springer episodes!!!

Seriously, feel better soon!

Chip I replied to your post last night & I had the pain but today it got worse

oh Jenn, I am sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better soon!

back pain is the worst! I hope you are feeling better soon

I saw.

If you have Motrin take motrin while you wait for your script to be filled. Motrin works great for pain.

Here is the fun part of back pain, have John give you a theraputic massage. have him put icy hot on your back then have him massage your back but away from the spine. so he rubs where the pain is and sorta pushes it out. Its really relaxing.

Feel better

CHIP read funny quotes on BHB.
LMAO!!!!!

John giving me a massage? HA!! He now tells me he has artritis in the hands!!!!

BS!!!

Feel Better

LOL I saw...

Tell him he has to give you a massage how else are you to get well fast. If he doesnt give you a message you tell him well I just dont know how my back is going to be for the honeymoon, these things can cause someone to be unable to do anything for months.

Melisssa the only thing you stretch is your FINGERS!

And I think my work shower is next week, hope I am back

how funny!!!!

I will chip!! do you do what R & T said?

i do type a lot

Jenn, are you sitting at a desk typing?

Shouldn't you be lying down young lady!!?!

Feel better!!!
