Thanks so much, it does get me down quite a lot. People don't understand at all. ohmygosh yes, daily tasks are difficult. I can wake up and it feels ok (I think I am just used to the mild pain first thing) and then I do a small thing like bend over the sink to brush my teeth and off it goes. Anything sets it off. It's worse if I try to carry something, even if it's only a bag of sugar weight. I went blackberry picking and my back freaked out every time I got about a lb in the tub! I still managed to pick and clean and freeze about 6lb, I try not to let it beat me.Thank you for your kind words, it's so nice of you! [emoji4]
I hope you'll feel better too and please don't lose hope! I know how draining it can be to be constantly in pain while having to do daily life tasks that so many people take for granted! When I hurt my back back then, taking a shower, getting dressed, cooking, etc were such a struggle, on top of obviously working during the day and some freezing cold nights outside clubs, which really took a toll on me.
May I ask if your pain is in your upper or lower back? Mine was lower and it helped me to sit on my bed with lots of pillows, which gave lots of support and it did help a bit!
This forum helped me to choose who to go to, Dr. Matthew! http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/104967 I was super worried about the sessions as I had heard the same as you regarding chiropractors, but even though it is a bit painful afterwards, I did feel huge pain relief the following days!

It's started off at the top by my shoulders, then it would go away and come back, now it is permanent but it also hurts lower back too now. I've had testing on my vits, mins etc and they could not find anything, I tried that after the sports massage lady couldn't find anything, and she is really fabulous. It's all such a mystery, I didn't do anything to it like lift.
I sit in my bed now with 4 pillows, and it helps a little, if I keep wiggling around into different positions. thank you for that advice tho, it took me a while to figure it out. Sorry i didn't reply sooner i lost this thread and couldn't find it anywhere.
Thank you so much for the forum, you're so kind and helpful :' ) I really appreciate it!
I googled and found two chiropractors I like the look of due to the reviews, one is in my town and one about an hour away. They both have lots of testimonials and give me hope. I'm still dithering, the one in my my town his online messaging form failed, and then he kinda upset me when I saw he had quoted some famous back person or someone who said once a bad back is over 6 months old, it is almost impossible to fix but i'm just soothing myself that they just put that there in order to make us visit quicker so they get the custom lol My friend did say his back got fixed after being in a lot of pain so hopeful at least.
I was at such a loss and now you've really helped me and I'm taking steps towards it so thank you xx I don't have family support so this means a lot That's ok I will expect it to hurt after as my sports massage always does, but thank you for the warning, I will be prepared I'm so glad you got relief after it I really am xx
@boredjess So true, I dream of a time past when i was not in pain, and I think what did I used to do?! I wish I did more and was more adventurous when I was pain free! lol
