Mmmmm. Beer.
The nalkyfrolics cure-all.

Lucky you (no offense hun, but when you hear how stupid I am, you'll understand why...)

I fell on my back falling down stairs four times last year.
I thought it was limited to slippery stone steps in clubs, but did it the final time in a friends house at New Year's.

No wonder the pain's hanging around.

I hope you feel better soon! I don't really know what you could do. You should probably get a doctor to look at it for you

Take tomorrow off work and go to the doctors. You can't afford to mess around when it comes to bad backs or they won't heal up right.

Good luck with this one, hope you feel better soon

Sorry to hear about that mate. And Taz! Try avoiding all stairs in future...

But I reckon Monster's advice is probably best. If it just went like that there has to be an underlying problem that might need addressing.

However, I would also recommend stepping up the medication from beer to vodka...

Or Rhubarb shots??

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm rhubarb and custard shots...

Hope you feel better soon!

Bad backs are agony, i put mine out 18 months ago and it was hellish. Do as MonSTeR says, get to your doctor's, with some luck they'll prescribe painkillers and a muscle relaxant.. that's what my GP did and my back was a lot better after 24 hours. Get it seen to!, you can't afford to be too cavalier about sore backs and hope they clear up on their own, because that tends not to happen.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

a good back pain reliever is heat so take a looooong relaxing HOT bath and then keep it warm when you're out with hotwater bottles or deep heat rub (but not right after the bath - ouch) try and find a position that hurts least.

i did my back in in america last year i couldnt do anything but found i could get around the house on hands and knees but found that heat was the best for making me at least be able to move better.

i admit that bit could be fun when i wasnt in real bad pain though if anyone saw me without knowing what the sitch was would prolly think i was an insane person or an insane person who thought they were a dog.

(no comments on that please i know you lot )

Blimey mate! You should have given me a call. I can do a beer run for you if you're getting low.

I'll buzz you later on in the week.

Tuts, I'm the one who should be having sympathy, I have to live with him, and guess what, when his back went, his 'ill' voice appeared with it!!!!

*ouch* to the back

Must be something in the air as I fell down the stairs this morning and put mine out as well (again for the second time in the past couple of months!)

and *hugs* to Mishelisa for having to put up with a sick male

Hope all gets better soon

I've had a bad back on & off for a few months. Somedays I'm fine, other days I can't walk. The doc gave me some pain killers and I have to call to arrange to see the physio.
