Have you ever seen a physio/sports massage person Mike ? Perhaps that could provide some relief?Mike G wrote:Andyp wrote:I had to look that one up Mike. Is this a one off or regular routine?* Whichever I can only offer sympathies.

My back goes into spasm once or twice a year, on average, and generally I use a TENS machine for a day or two when that happens. This is the worst episode by a country mile that I've had since my back first went about 15 years ago, and I've had the machine on full blast for 8 days now. Today is the first day when I've actually felt a little improvement. I've just walked (hobbled) out to my workshop, sat down on a saw horse, then turned around and come back in again.

If someone as qualified and experienced as him could make such a catastrophic cock-up, then I clearly couldn't ever trust my back in another physio's hands. I take medical advice now, but wouldn't allow any sort of physical intervention other than by a surgeon. I have had de-nervation treatment twice, and it was brilliant. The effect wears off, though, after 2 or 3 years, and they'll only do it routinely twice.
I hope yours is getting better.
