Well it is well and truly winter now. I always find that January is the coldest month here and for sometime in to February. We have for the past couple years been short on snow but we do get our fair share of ice.  Where I live they do grit the major roads but rarely the side roads or the pathways so if you are walking , you are dealing with ice. Before back issues walking in snow and ice never bothered me that much.  However since I had severe low back pain and bilateral sciatica and I know I have two herniated discs I am much more wary of walking in ice and snow and quite worried about slipping and falling. Although these days thank goodness I am mostly pain free I do know that if I was to slip, twist and jar my back I am likely to be in a lot of pain again. So I decided that as I do a lot of walking now and I do not want my back to limit my life anymore than it has to and if I want to go out in winter,  I cannot avoid ice, I would find a solution.

Hanging out washing is such a simple task to do but if you have back pain and sciatica can suddenly seem more difficult , if not impossible!. You need to try what works for you but here's how I did it when my back was bad and now I do it as a habit.  I get the washing out of the machine and put a small amount in the basket, carry that to the line and set it down. Then I squat down to pick up the clothes and hang them one by one. Also depending on how I feel I often use a stool or bench that is outside to put the basket on and then I don't have to keep squatting down. Depends how i feel. If that is still too much and you have a dryer machine then it may be easier to just use that.  However if you do have someone who can help you hang out the washing then by all means ask for help. Sometimes it can be very hard for us to ask for help but be kind to yourself.   Oh Yeah and always watch out for those naughty Woodpigeons !! Gentle hugs Lose The Back Pain System ...
