[QUOTE="theboytheboy, post: 7795573, member: 3504"] Everyone has different advice and you need to find what works for you. I was disabled by back pain aged 35. I couldn't lift my newborn son out if his cot and was heavily drugged up. Me experience was that chiropractors and osteopaths were happy to take my money week in week out (for about the 5 years prior) but no real long term advice, other than come back next week and give me another £50 please. I dread to think how much I spent. I finally found a physio who helped me get to a point where I could ditch the cocktail of drugs I needed to get through a day. He said he had done all he can and I needed to to do regular exercise to strengthen and maintain my core and back muscles. Long story short, I no longer take any drugs for my back. It stull hurts all the time and there are certain things I shouldnt do (little bales, running, digging holes etc) Thats not to say I never do anything I shouldn't but I pay for it with interest! I would recommend finding a good PT for 121 sessions to focus on your specific issues and learning how to tailer excercise to your body and its problem. I continue to see one every week and am doing things I honestly never thought I would be able to. Its also good for a change of scenery, someone different to talk to and a mental health boost, so for me its great value. One thing I was told when I asked about back braces was that they can actually be unhelpful as you dont engage your muscles because you rely on the brace so it can contribute to weakening you in the place you need to build strength...... As said everyone has a different experience and advice and this is what worked for me. Best of luck, hope you find the best solution for you sooner rather than later! [/QUOTE]
