    Val the only things that works for me is, lying flat and raise your legs...and also I use ice packs...they are so painful i have been taken to hossy twice with them over the years but I have learned to ease them myself...I hope it works ...let us know how you are...
    Love

    you can just raise your knees to take the pressure off, get your hubby to use either ice or heat

    Hi Val.

    I do hope your back is feeling better this morning and you don't have to call the doctor out. Backs when painful can take over your whole body so sending you plenty of comforting hugs.

    Hi Val, sorry I have only just seen this, been a bit awol of late.
    How's the back? Mine spasms a lot, the only thing that helps me is to knock myself out with old faithful diazapam, obviously you shouldn't just take meds like that but if you can get some kind of sedative type thing from your gp...
    I don't know if I can take mine now with the fantanyl patches, will have to find out..

    Best wishes hun

    Val, I take muscle relaxants to stop the spasms. Apparently the spasms are the bodys way of protecting itself. Heat is also good I find. I would ask your gp for some relaxants. Hope you get some relief soon.
