In other news today

David Cameron is a twat.

Something about owls.

Elderly millionaires poorly Photoshopped in a tent.

Hacked off goes global.

Etc. etc., ad infinitum.

I would search them out, but I'm in terrible pain with a bad back and need to go and lie back down on the floor.

Sorry to hear that, I know how you feel! A couple of years back, two of the discs in my back decided to set up home away from their compatriots. I was absolutely crippled for months. Even changing gears in the car was so sore I had to hold my breath and walking a block left me soaked in sweat.

In the end, a new found love of physiotherapists, diclofenac and naproxyn has left me virtually pain free.

Get well soon.

Cheers for that, Ratz!

I've never had a bad back before.

I've also got a bit of a cough and it's absolute agony.

Feel better!

Ooh poor you - hope things get less painful soon.
However can I point out that David Cameron being a twat is not news, just an enduring, excruciating fact of life, an April Fool every day of the year.
Take care x

Can't guarantee anything, of course, but I was in 24/7 agony for months on end with every joint in my body screaming (with what was diagnosed as RA) and no meds were helping. I have been (almost) pain-free for five months after trying acupuncture. (You've got to find a good practitioner, of course...and I'm lucky that mine is also a chiropractor.)

Bummer, I hope it's just a temporary thing.

Cheers Bruce.

I'm just getting twinges at the moment, but last night I could hardly breathe because of the constant pain.

And the coughing didn't help.

Get well soon bud.
I've suffered with my back for over 20 years now. Had a couple of ops and I think another is on the way.

Drop me a line if you need any help or advice on dealing with the pain as I've become a bit of an expert on the subject.

Thanks for that, S!

It appears to be moving around at the moment.

I get into one contorted position that stops the pain for a while and then it starts hurting elsewhere.

I hope things are well with you!

Prolapsed a disk at the age of 21 (quote common inyoung.men I believe) and after a couple of months of pain I vowed not to let it happen again
30 years of regular work-outs later, so far it's worked!
Get well soon and keep the crazy stories coming!
