I suffered from back pain too. For example, standing at a gig watching a band, getting back to the car and trying to get into the car - nightmare. Going for a long walk or playing golf - affected my golf swing, and bending to tee the ball or pick it out the hole was sore, once warmed up, I eased up and was OK, but at the end, would stiffen up dreadfully and get really sore again. In bed at night, turning over from one side to the other - had to do it in installments, accompanied by stifled groans of pain. I was recommended to try one of these back stretching thingummyjigs - photo attached. I read reviews, did a bit of research, and the one I got was £23. Thought it would be worth giving it a shot, for the price of a fitba’ match ticket. There’s three slots in increasing angles. I went for the lowest angle. Sit on the floor, set an alarm for five mins, have some relaxing music on. Hook your thumbs behind the widest base area and pull towards you until it hits the top of your bum. Gently lean back supporting yourself on your elbows until prone. Two five minute sessions per’ day. I swear, hand on heart, the difference to my life has been unbelieveable. After only a few days, could feel a real difference. Been using it for a month now - pain free, golf no problem, getting in and out the car no problem. At first, it felt awkward under my back, I used a pillow under my head, but only for the first day. After day one, laid down on it and stretched my legs out, head on floor no problem. I could hear the cracks as I lay on it initially, as my spine posture corrected itself after repeated use, the cracking eased. I am a cynical auld goat about stuff like this, but this bloody thing has worked absolute wonders for me. It might not be for everyone, obviously the back pain each of us feels can be caused by different things, but when I saw the post, thought I’d share my experience and how the back stretcher / posture corrector has genuinely, and I admit, surprisingly, made a massive difference to my situation.
Just ordered one on Amazon. The reviews are very good.

Did you get this on Amazon and do you know the actual name of it?

Strength training is your friend.
Either that or just take massive doses of opioid based painkillers.Strengthening you core muscles is supposed to be really good for it. The opioids get me functioning but can be brutal.

I got sciatica earlier in the year. It was really bad for a few months, couldnt walk properly or even sit without pain.
Its eased off now but its still there but its mainly pain down the left leg now, like I have a constant tight/pulled hamstring.
Have you had a MRI scan? I thought I had sciatica as well and it turned out to something worse. Went 18 months thinking it was that

Not had any back pain since i started doing pullups about a year ago.
Before that it was on/off for ages.
Not sure whats fixed it, was always the bottom right side and would come on suddenly and then take a few weeks to go.
Possibly hanging about has aligned things better and strengthened muscles around it?
I've heard hanging from a pull up bar is supposed to be good. Might be the stretching Inverness

It only hurts when I'm standing for an extended period of time, or when I'm lying in bed.
Don't know if you are taking anything for it but if you are, ask for gastro resistance tablets so they don't wreck your stomach. I take pain killers and you do things without thinking about them aggravating things.

I have lower back pain pretty much all the time, with varying degrees of severity. It's all down to my hamstrings being perpetually tight, regardless of how much I stretch them. It puts a great amount of strain on my lower back. Only 25, so excited to see what I'll be like when I'm 40.
My diagnosis is lumber spondylosis. Twice your age. I'm waiting to move house and when I do I'm going to try cold water swimming. Supposed to be good for back pain. Not looking forward to it but willing to try anything.
Is it sore when you're sitting down? If it is, try sitting on one of those inflatable exercise balls. It eases the pressure.

Anyone else on here suffer with back pain and what are your strategies for dealing with it apart from pain killers?
Been suffering with it for a couple of years now and tired of the impact it has on my daily life.

Meant to hit the green button. Same as you. I want the super elite paying for it.

Any p&b Jambos openly admit to posting in there? there must be a few (not the recent influx of bellends)
Been posting since I got booted. Have laughed more on here. The orange walk thread is one of the funniest things I've read while in lockdown.

P&B's best kept secret is that everyone here posts on Kickback. Apart from the Heart of Midlothian fans of course, who have more sense.
I got banned only asking a question about levein... I asked if he had the same deal when selling players that McNamara had at utd. Levein was there before him and also on the board so I thought it was an appropriate question. Was accused of calling him corrupt... they are more defensive than levein himself. That was the first ban. Second was for asking why the one of the moderators always gave excuses for anything the club or budge done. Independent message board my archiebauld

~St johnstone had some fight about them.
You only had 4 wins all season, games where you upped your effort when against Hibs and SevCo. It did not appear that you were able to get enough points against the Ross County's, Hamiltons and St Mirren's that you were up against.
The likelyhood is, you were never equipped to scrap it out at the bottom end of the table
Are you the same guy who posts on kickback?

I had some sympathy for Hearts.
They were the worst team in the league over the period played, but shoud have had the opportunity to turn it around in the final 8 games.
i think their form suggests they were unlikely to do so, but you never know.
Don't think their £8M claim was fair though which will have riled up a lot of people
St johnstone were bottom of the league at the beginning of the year. I wonder if it took them less that 8 games to get above that

No you aren't. You know fine well that the season couldn't be finished.
You're going have to take my word on that. Though I don't think you will due to you just looking for an argument...

Honestly, there's 600+ pages of people on this thread roundly dismissing all your points here.
There's no point arguing as it's been done to death, and also you clearly won't be swayed, so shall we just leave it?
We better leave it... I'd have thump cramp by the time I had one person agreeing with any of my points. You've saved my weekend.

1. That's a completely hypothetical question, noone can know but there's a general agreement there wouldn't be the same sense of entitlement.
2. Yes we can. It was the fairest, or certainly no less fair than another options. Only less fair to the teams in question.
3. Not ideally, probably not brilliantly, but that's not really relevant to things being "fair" or not, is it?
Off course it's relevant to being fair. There were other options available. The spfl were too quick of the mark to call the season over.

Royals are well above the law never to be touched protected by the elite Brittsh establishment.
I don't know if it's never to be touched but fergie's offspring shouldn't be touched. They are a couple of freaky looking girls.

There's not a fan of other clubs on here wouldn't have expected their club to have taken the same action if it had happened to them. There were other options available to the league and none if you can say that this was the fairest. Does every poster here who is celebrating think that the spfl have handled this well?

There's defo a correlation between the two. I've never done a count but I'd bet anything there's more bins in Edinburgh than Aberfoyle.
You'd think there would be more litter in the cities than in the countryside. I live in the highlands and it's worse up here. They just throw things out there cars rather than wait. Might not be like that everywhere but in north argyll it is terrible.

Peter Crouch.
Every time I hear or see that c**t he's got another shite BBC TV show, podcast or radio gig. Don't understand why, he's got the personality of a dish rag.
I don't get how they all think he is fun as... He's also just been given his own tv show. He laughs at his jokes more than others.

Back pain.

I'd love to get off the pain killers but can't function properly without them. Swimming is the next thing I'm trying. Have you tried cold water swimming? It's been recommended to me.
