Bad back suffering

[T4tomo]

Worth seeing an osteopath. Mine helped me tremendously with my back problems. No experience of chiropractor so not sure if there’s a difference

Defo Osteopath. they work with your muscles to pull everything back into line, and give you exercises and stretches to keep it that way. A Chiropractor will click stuff quickly back into place, which doesn't address the underlying issues, and you'll be back to them shortly with the same problem.

Short term I would reconsider the pain killers. The problem with pain is that your body tries to compensate - this results in spasms. Which are a lot worse than they sound.! (A+E one night the pain got so bad)

The pain killers allow you to do some basic stretches - which slowly and to a limited extent help.

I've had steroid injections and nerve ablation. The latter made my back feel like I was teenager again !!!!! .

Pilates and yoga help. But don't go mad !
