When you have back pain its pretty tempting to stay in bed. However unless you have been medically advised to stay in bed it is not generally the best thing to do ! When we remain still and stay in bed for a long time our muscles become weak and atrophy and get stiff. This in itself can cause or lead to further pain.  Bed rest used to be advised for back pain but not so much now. My physio and neurosurgeon and massage therapist all advised me to move gently. By all means if you are in a lot of pain it may be helpful to stay in bed for a day, maybe two but any longer and you could be on your way to lengthening your recovery time. If you really feel you cannot get out of bed or it is agony to move at all then you need to seek medical help.  Otherwise some gentle movement taking it easy but keeping the muscles moving and warm can be better.   Clearly always take medical advice for your specific condition and circumstances.  Lose The Back Pain System Lose th...

I used to use pillows between my knees when lying on my side and under my knees when lying on my back but while they did the job I did find it frustrating as when I moved around in the night suddenly all my support was gone and I had to reposition the pillows yet again. This tended to lead to a somewhat disturbed night!  With a full body pillow for  support - well it is just blissful.... You are cradled and supported and comfortable...it helps to align the spine and hips and in some cases the neck as well so your whole body is supported, comfortable and settled. It takes the pressure off my back and allows me to r-e-l-a-x and certainly leads towards a much more restful sleep.  Yes it does take up room in the bed but that is a small issue and when you and your partner get a good nights sleep is soon forgotten!  There are quite a few designs and different kinds of body pillow supports.

Going on holiday with sciatica or back pain can take a little thought and planning. This post is about important things to remember to take and pack on holiday with you if you have back or sciatic pain. 1. If you take any sort of pain relief take it with you and ideally carry it in hand luggage. If it is a prescription then take the document with you as well. Make sure you order your medication well in advance so you have enough to take with you on holiday. Keep all medications in their original packaging. Take slightly more with you than you need just in case you have any delays getting home.  2. Either heat pads or ice ointments or Rub On relief cream in case you need topical pain relief. 3. Comfortable shoes or sandals. You need to be sure that you can walk around in your footwear. If you buy new shoes/sandals do try them out before you go and make sure you are secure and comfortable as possible in them. Bear in mind that your destination may have uneven or slippery surfa...

Before back pain issues I used to lug around a heavy watering can to water all my pots and troughs full of plants and also the new starters in the garden. After I got back issues that was not going to be a good thing for me, yet the plants still needed watering in the heat of the summer and it wasn't fair to expect my husband to do it all. I love gardening and those of you who know me know that I wasn't about to give it up. One Doctor had told me... I would never garden again... While that comment plunged me into some despair it also made me start thinking about how I CAN DO things and what I CAN DO rather than what I cannot do. Now its ironic I am writing this as it is pouring down with rain outside!!(LOL!!) However, we have had some very hot spells when especially my young seedlings and pot plants have found it tough going. So a couple of quick remedies for watering your plants if you have back pain. 1. I use a household watering can, its much smaller and lighter an...

It's funny how everything in your body is connected like a single... tightly wrapped piece of rope. When one area hurts, it reduces the function of another. If one organ isn't functioning properly... you feel it throughout your entire body. And if the nutrients going in your body aren't reducing inflammation – they're CAUSING inflammation... which as you know is the single worst enemy for your body. This is something a friend of mine learned the hard way recently... Her neck had been bothering her for a few days and she couldn't figure out why. She was active and she never injured it – so why would she be having pain? She asked me for some help, and I gave her 3 very important tips of advice that will be helpful for you if you've ever experienced “mystery neck pain” (or pain anywhere else) like she was... Tip #1 – You Must EAT Foods That Reduce Inflammation – Leafy vegetables... berries and fruits... omega 3 fatty acids (from nuts, olive oil, fish,...
