I too, have suffered a slipped disc. Worst pain I've ever experienced.

We moved to the North east from Cheshire 2 years ago and i am yet to find a "NBF" (new best friend). I have 2 in Cheshire and 1 in Glasgow and i'm sure that my newcastle NBF exists I just haven't found her yet.<BR/><BR/>You can't put your finger on what you are looking for, but when you find them, you know instantly.Gosforth girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06989503803784550656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-72991834428590580312007-06-24T17:22:00.000+01:002007-06-24T17:22:00.000+01:00Ok, weird thing I heard the other day.If you have ...Ok, weird thing I heard the other day.<BR/><BR/>If you have a bad back you should sleep with chalk under your mattress...<BR/><BR/>Or maybe it was a pea...<BR/><BR/>Or maybe you're meant to pee on your mattress.<BR/><BR/>Oh dear, not really helping much am I, sorry.Jo Beaufoixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957369658590225971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-32517982930252704472007-06-23T20:15:00.000+01:002007-06-23T20:15:00.000+01:00Sorry about the back - I used to suffer terribly -...Sorry about the back - I used to suffer terribly - good osteo is the way to go - plenty of heat treatment.....debiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14218049959165514277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-38771001509913940462007-06-21T09:06:00.000+01:002007-06-21T09:06:00.000+01:00Boy, oh , boy, am I glad to be working with dogs!Boy, oh , boy, am I glad to be working with dogs!Eurodoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03181704119272387177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-88292616389030858912007-06-21T08:29:00.000+01:002007-06-21T08:29:00.000+01:00Bad back?

Half the population (or something) experience back pain at some time in their lives.<BR/><BR/>The correct course is doctor before physiotherapist and only then, if you believe in them, an osteopath.<BR/><BR/>But go to your hospital physiotherapy department and buy Dr MacKenzie's "Treat Your Own Back". The book gives a series of exercises to do if you get the agony of sudden back pain (i.e. a "slipped disc") and they are guaranteed - well, more or less - to get you back to normal quite quickly. I am prone to slipped discs and I immediately drop to the floor and do the exercises. 9 times out of 10 I'm OK five minutes later.<BR/><BR/>Walking uphill, even with help, is likely to make the damage more permanent.<BR/><BR/>Do buy the book. It costs about £10. My copy has the signature of about two dozen sufferers who have borrowed it and been helped by it.DogLoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08790183909033947474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-44612679029373117162007-06-20T21:35:00.000+01:002007-06-20T21:35:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.nofoodisforbiddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12058809142816147041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-61309840931555285022007-06-20T20:58:00.000+01:002007-06-20T20:58:00.000+01:00Wow, I was really shocked and amazed at your post....Wow, I was really shocked and amazed at your post. (not the back pain, though I know, it must be bad, but the bullying thing.)<BR/><BR/>I followed all the links through and got sad and angry for you.<BR/><BR/>As a mum who also has a 6 year old who's faced bullying in the last year (though not to your little one's extent), I don't see how anyone can read your post and see it as anything other than the worried thoughts of a concerned mum who is struggling to deal with a difficult situation.<BR/><BR/>It's mad that a post about your child's bullying and isolation has led to the same thing happening to you.<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad your new friend had the guts to say sorry with such thought and care.<BR/><BR/>She obviously genuinely thinks alot of you.<BR/><BR/>She is indeed marra material.Jo Beaufoixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957369658590225971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-48970433049625023752007-06-20T19:42:00.000+01:002007-06-20T19:42:00.000+01:00I, too, have suffered much back pain.

I was fine in no time. Painkillers of a different sort will help with the mums at school. Namely, an ally or two. People will get jealous and upset over a lot of things, blogs included. Rise above it. Your kids will grow up, they and you will move on. I live in a claustrophobic, isolated area, too, where everyone knows everyone or is related to everyone, except me. I just ignore the trouble causers now.wakeupandsmellthecoffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04602735058278146250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-80148902455696196372007-06-20T19:35:00.000+01:002007-06-20T19:35:00.000+01:00Hi, back pain is the worst, I've only got time to ...Hi, back pain is the worst, I've only got time to have a quick read of your latest blog but I'm sure I shall like your frank way of writing when I pop back !

I think the blogophobic folk in your locality remind me that, in any group, the one who stands out for whatever reason is sometimes pecked to death for being different. Withstand the pecking. Eventually someone else will take the flack - for instance, next week a gorgeous ex-model could float into the playground, all Gucci and Nars, swishing up alongside the muddy 4 X 4's in her silver Merc convertible. Hopefully, she will come with a reputation for seducing other people's husbands, charming their children and being the best cook in four counties. Encourage her to join all the local groups, especially those with Dads in. That should do the trick.<BR/><BR/>Keep smiling:)Swearing Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07277450057243928790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-19947244275742080762007-06-20T17:51:00.000+01:002007-06-20T17:51:00.000+01:00I still don't understand why folks have got so het...I still don't understand why folks have got so het up about your writing.

The temptation is to lay in bed and not move. You can do this for 24 hours ( kids allowing) but then you should get up and move around. If only I had had the right advice all those years ago. <BR/><BR/>If after a few days it is still painful, the osteopath is the best option or physio for ultrasound to take the swelling away first. <BR/><BR/>Hope this helps.<BR/><BR/>I am still catching up, I didn't realise peopale were not happy about your blog.<BR/><BR/>Envy is not pretty is it!!!<BR/><BR/>PoetessxxxxPoetesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345303770870526761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-39260999622694792272007-06-20T14:14:00.000+01:002007-06-20T14:14:00.000+01:00What a marvellous woman, and I hope she becomes yo...What a marvellous woman, and I hope she becomes your marra.
