So i have been unable to do much since 28th December when whilst working my back suddenly spasmed and i fell to the floor in agony i went to hospital same day as after it happened i couldn't feel my hands and arms although i could still move them
It turned out one of my discs had moved damaging a nerve in the process so lots of physio massages and the biggest pile of heat packs you have ever seen later i am starting to be able to bend and move a bit and i will be able to go back to work in the next week or 2
I have messaged some of you that ordered bodywork but thought I'd tell the full story here
The wife has been doing a great job of putting up with my groaning every time i move and went and i think emptied boots of heat pads

Hi Dave
Just been catching up on this thread.
My advice, take it very easy & don't overdo things.
Since I damaged my spine as a child I have had some chronic issues with my back.
These issues have got much worse as my years have advanced.
As a fellow sufferer, I feel your pain. Hope you are on the mend real soon. :)

Yeah take care, but don't under do it. Did damage to my back when I was 13 (nearly 30 years ago :eek: ) It hardly causes me any grief as I know how to look after it , but occasionally I do something that triggers some bad spasam.
