accidental pain relief

amet1

went to alton towers with kids maybe not such a good idea coz kids forced me on all the big rides had a wierd experience on AIR, hanging upside down on stomach, no weight on back or knees totally stops the pain....... one problem they wouldnt let me bring the ride home. so now i want to be a fruit bat and sleep upside down any sugestions accepted (one downside of excursion couldnt move for 2 days boo hoo)

Interesting. Call me chicken but I think I'll stick with cocos for my pain relief. I doubt you'd get a prescription for Alton Towers anyway. (I've been trying to get one for whisky for years ) I hope you're in recovery now.

Whiskey and AT sound fun.. when my back was really bad i used to hold on to the top of the door frame and hold my weight with my hands, took the strain off my back and gave it a good streach, still do it now sometimes, when you're in pain whatever helps is good.

I used to do the door frame trick. Did help but now the hands ain't so good.
I'll go halves on the AT ride lol..
Keep the whiskey Sticky, you can have me share too

You could apply to NASSA see if they will shoot you into space.

years ago when i went down to bognor, i went on the wurlitzers & the less aggressive swing things that whizz round and round

oh well wow for the relief from neck pain - found accidentally

i also get the same sort of relief when i accelerate quickly in turbo diesel car and the G force affects the pain in my neck and arms and makes me totally relaxed driving. please note that i drive safely and in full control of the car as i wouldnt want people to be whizzing round their local streets and then trying to explain to cops oh officer its good for my neck.
(mine is reserved for motorway driving when its logical and sensible to up my speed)

Great Idea Colin!! Went to space centre when OH & I went on Caribbean cruise 3yrs ago great place! The only way we could hang like that is 1.) find a magician who could turn us in to fruit bats or 2.) Find a vampire who could turn us in to 1970 type vampire. Other than that we will have to go to AT every day and go on AIR just to get some sleep!!!

Hi amet1
Aww I love it, how good that must have felt, I think Val has just mentioned the tilting table...a friend of our has one to ease his back pain, so I had a go...very strange and takes a while to go completely upside down...I never got that far...but what a lovely feeling it was.
You take care x

Hi A

And fun as well

Val is right there is something you can get but they were very expensive last time I looked and that was years ago so can't remember much except it was circular and you could be upside down.

Long ago I used to hang by my knees from an old A beam and your right it does help. The beam was a bit of gentle traction as well

Think they should have just let you bring the ride home...... Cris x
