Hi guys, because of my lop sided hips i have a curvy spine but i put extra weight on it because of the issues. This means if i sit straight for to long i end up in agony (a 9 on pain scale).
I attend a 4 hour math class once a week and i sit with my feet up to try and help but it doesnt make a huge difference really.
Anyone got any ideas how i can help myself?
Hi Sarah I was suffering back pain I find a hot water bottle on base of spine helps a bit xx
I do that a lot in the house but not sure if i could in class haha xx
Do a Google under kneeling chair. They are ergonomically designed to take pressure off the pine, and seat you in a more natural position. If you can find one that is light enough, you should be able to carry it around with you. It may help.
We have one in the computer room. I have bad knees so there not any good either haha. But thanks
I would take it away for you if l could my friend you suffer enough yet still fight on and do all tour classes and driving. I am proud of my sarah 😊xxx
Awww thank you hunnie.
I just wish something would come along and suck all the pain out of my body permenently haha xxxz
Perhaps you can get permission to stand up for awhile at intervals that would prevent the pain. I am sure the teacher would understand. A #9 on the pain scale is horrific!
Actipatch for back pain, posture is important and don't sit for to long,
I feel for you Sarah. I suffered with back pain too and for the same reason. Hot water bottle helps with plenty of pain relief at the end of the day.
It's hard in class, but if you know after 20 mins your pain starts try to stand and stretch out. If you sit at the back less people notice. It is hard standing up infront of everyone, but after a while they barely notice. Was you ever offered a pain managment course?
I can't wait for you to have your op and start the road of your whole body recovery. I am actually excited for you! Have you got your date yet? Xx
Unfortanetly my pain relief doesnt touch me anymore and although iv suffered with this pain all my life i only got given tablet 5 month ago so the other 18 years of my life was just pain haha. But no pain managment classes or anything.
I sit at from of class so i can put a chair infront of my desk to put my feet up but i try to casually stand up every so often haha.
My date is Feb 29th so not long now. Iv got a class on the 23rd im attending but im in on the 18th to find out if my collar bone needs operating on haha. But i cant wait for my thr now tbh xx
I was in my college stationary store today and discovered mini hot water bottles. They call them "pocket bottles"; am assuming so you can keep them in pockets on cold days, but thinking of getting one or two for my back and leg when sitting in class. I have two three-hour classes three days a week.
*stationery. Oops, although it is also stationary...
ha ha ha - well caught.
As the kids say, respect!

Awww that sounds cute. The problem is, is that my class is from 6pm to 9pm (i get there at 5pm though so dad can drop me off and so i can do one to one) so theres only a little cafe open on site x
