I first suffered back problems in my twenties after jumping off a ladder
while wearing breathing apparatus as a naval officer. Over the years I
thought the problem had gone away. Medical checks revealed no
structural damage or major problems and yet intermittently the
problems return To some extent I have gone down the route most do.
Avoiding situations that "stress my back" or put it at risk.
I trained in karate and did weight lifting, no problem. Then I bend
forward slightly to clean my teeth and bam a searing pain in the side
of my back.
Pain killers and a few days of taking it easy and all is back to normal
and I forget I have a "bad back", until the next episode!
Is this you? Do you suffer from un predictable intermittent back ache
which varies in intensity and regularity.
It seems to occur when you least need it right? When you're bogged
down with work, the kids are off school or your miles from the nearest
doctor?
Perhaps some of my self help methods can help.
1. When the pain occurs stop what you're doing and immediately
return your back into the position it was in before the pain occurred.
Sounds obvious but by doing that you can prevent further pain.
2. Don't be afraid of taking pain killers. It will take the pain away and
prevent your back seizing up due to lack of movement.
3. If you have a heat pad apply it. If not take a hot bath or shower. If
your in a sunny climate lie in the sun for a short while with the sun on
your back or if that is too uncomfortable site on a chair the wrong way
round so you can lean gently over the back of the chair and allow the
heat of the sun to warm your back.
4. Lie flat on the floor with a pillow under your knees. This will allow
the base of the back to drop down over.
5. When in bed use only one pillow and sleep with a pillow between
your knees.
6. Try sleeping on your back. To prevent yourself rolling onto your side
place a pillow either side of you.

7. Walk around slowly for at least 15 minutes and listen to some
music. This will loosen up your back and take your mind of the
incident.
There are either more specific techniques which you can learn to cope
with back pain and cure your back ache..
