Update on back pain

Bones, joints and muscles

Just to give an update to back pain question i asked the other day- In contact with physio and she has recommended that i go back on 2 crutches until my 6 week check up. She said it was far to early to be on 1 crutch and this was more than like putting strain on my back

She also recommended sleeping with pillow under my back for support at night as sleeping on my back could contribute to the pain as well.

So hopefully this helps and i can cut out the pain meds.

Thanks everyone for the advice

Hi. thats great news. Hope their advice eases things. Just goes to show how were all different. And it’s great you’ve got another point of contact if you need it .

Hope your back pains ease. I used to wake up with back ache every morning, but I was lucky, it never lasted once I got moving,
Wishing you all the best.

The moral is, don’t be in too much of a hurry to recover, there is no prize for being first.
