Have you ever had a MRI scan to check things over?Anyone any advice on back problem, having on going problem with discs in my back an im only 27 its getting to the point where im thinking that i may need a career change
Noo i did met the criteria for that which was grand haHave you ever had a MRI scan to check things over?
I spoke with someone that was in a simalar problems as have an they suggested going to the gym which in fairness i thought was a terrible idea but would try, got a few sessions why a very good trainer so not to do more harm an it helped an awful lot aslong as i dont spend to much time sat down. Stop for regular walk around an stretch an thing are alot better. Been ill in other ways past 4 months an not being able to go to the gym an my back just going back the same way unfortunatelyWhen my OH was in his late 20s he suffered from back problems, I remember once he couldn't get out of bed for several days. First he went to the doctor who said give up the work that was making the problem - not helpful. He bought the best tractor seat then available and went to some "back people." The last one was the daughter of a local farmer, who treated his back and gave him some simple exercises to do, which he continues to do to this day and he is now in his late 60s. I must say that I admire him for that, he never misses his exercises which he does every morning to keep everything flexible and moving and he doesn't suffer particularly from back ache now.
Of course, things have moved on regarding machinery too. We don't unloads 1/2 cwt fertiliser bags from the trailers, or move (many) small hay or straw bales or do any work with a fork in our hands and all the heavy work is now done with the JCB loader.
If you have damage to the discs or spine in general that isn't great news, so the first stop should be a doctor, get a proper diagnosis, but I think that after X ray, scan or whatever the NHS doesn't offer a great deal in the way of physiotherapy and this is the time to ask around friends and neighbours to find a "back person" If it can be treated by them and you don't need an operation of course.
They come under many descriptions from cranial osteopath, chiropractor, osteopath, physiotherapist (often attached to a rugby club). I'm not too happy with the ones that crunch the neck, you are worried that they are ripping your head off (and there have been cases of injury).
