I went to a chiropractor who almost eliminated the pain immediately (cracking some bones--I don't know). Anyway, she wanted me to keep coming and pay a fortune but I didn't. I try to get out and exercise anytime my back hurts and that seems to work good (sometimes some ibuprofen too). But, if I ever had the debilitating pain again, I would go back to the chiropractor again. <BR/><BR/>Love the post--great photos! Hope your back is better soon!Appalachian Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788338402249620716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-76827975788743449042008-05-29T09:57:00.000-04:002008-05-29T09:57:00.000-04:00Ugh, sorry to hear about the back pain!

Everybody I mention it to thinks they know what'll cure it! My favorite is when someone says, "Ohh, I know a great stretch for that!" For whatever reason, that just drives me nuts. My advice? Hang in there, and enjoy yourself when it feels better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-28121025548079018922008-05-29T01:52:00.000-04:002008-05-29T01:52:00.000-04:00Mary, another excellent post.

If you don't want to take drugs you could try acupuncture or a chiropractor (spelling?) But, sometimes some muscle relaxents or pain kills help as you are healing. And yes, exercising does help - too bad you have to force yourself to do it! Also, is there an ergonomically better chair you can have at work or do some stretches every hour or so? I think if I were suffering for such a long time, I'd see the doctor too. You shouldn't let this ruin your summer!! I'd give you a big hug now and hopefully it wouldn't hurt your back!! That little frog looks like a plastic toy....Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15806756079227306837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-33085660772733546452008-05-28T08:13:00.000-04:002008-05-28T08:13:00.000-04:00Glad your back is feeling some better.

Sitting, standing and laying to long will do me in. I try not to do any of those things for to long. Heat seemed to help better then ice. Take care of that back.<BR/><BR/>Your pictures are great, especially the sky pictures. Don't know if you have seen or know about Sky Watch Friday, but your pictures would be great for it. If you are interested, visit, http://womtig.blogspot.com Thursday evening when Tom has the site up.<BR/><BR/>Well anyway take care of yourself and I hate to say it too, you need to get out there and do some walking, it will help.
