http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.html traineo forum thread - AARRRGGHHH!!! Can't work out at the mo - need help please! Wed, 16 Jul 2008 21:39:00 +0000 http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlNo nothing like that at all. The problem here in England is that because everything is done on the NHS, you REALLY have to push to get anything like that done or to see any kind of specialist, as it costs the government 'too much' apparently (never mind the 25% of my wages that gets taxed for all of that!!!). I'm just hoping it will carry on getting better, if not I'm going to have to start making demands lol....http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlWed, 16 Jul 2008 21:39:00 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlGlad you are feeling better! Has she done any x-rays or anything?http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlWed, 16 Jul 2008 20:24:37 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlThanks for the advise everyone. It seems to be getting better - I can walk now which is a definate improvement! I still get twinges but its no where near as bad now. Personally I don't like being on the pain pills either, especially since I have heard so many bad things about co-codemol (codein) and valium. I spoke to my doctor and she said that if I keep getting problems to go back and she will refer me straight over to a chiropractor because she thinks I am far too young to be suffering w...http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlWed, 16 Jul 2008 20:08:50 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlI agree with Emily. If you cut back a couple hundred calories per day that might prevent some damage. I hope you feel better soon!http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlTue, 15 Jul 2008 01:00:48 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlI agree with Shown and Magnum. And if the doc doesn't help, try a chiropractor.http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlMon, 14 Jul 2008 13:27:17 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlDiet and exercise, if you can't do one, you can focus on the other?http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlMon, 14 Jul 2008 05:55:02 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlI agree with Shawn. Meds only work for so long. Most of the time they just mask the real problem. See a doc that can get you started with some rehab.http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlMon, 14 Jul 2008 04:33:13 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlIf its not getting better, i'd look for a doctor who can give you a plan of improvement (physical therapy for example) vs painpills..http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlMon, 14 Jul 2008 02:12:00 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlthis may be a stretch, but i recall they used to have 'sit and be fit' programs on tv early in the morning, of course, i was like ten, but maybe you could find some of the vids n youtube? just to tide you over till your feeling better?http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlSun, 13 Jul 2008 00:53:58 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlOK so about a week ago, my back went out on me. It feels like its a trapped nerve or something in the base of my spine, and it HURTS. I carried on going to work because they really needed me, but because of it the rest of the muscles in my back went into spasm where I was holding myself strange. I went to my doctor and she prescribed me co-codemol and a low dose of valium to take care of it and it seems to be helping with the pain. However, I can hardly walk, let alone work out, so I'm pret...http://www.traineo.com/15_6244_0.htmlSat, 12 Jul 2008 22:36:23 +0000
