Yeah, car boot lumbago is why I always use loading boards if I have any say in the matter...my osteopath once told me starter cord motors, Ford bucket seats and shopping coming out of the car boot had paid for his Rolls Royce. He wasn't joking, either !
One thing I will recommend is a nice hot shower, it loosens off the muscles if they have gone into spasm. (If a disc slips far enough out of place the muscles that normally hold it in place lock into abnormal positions, and that's why you can't move. So I believe...
)
And of course alcohol is a wonderful painkiller and muscle relaxant !

As a long-term pain sufferer, I sympathise. If you're unlucky nothing will take the pain away completely, but several things will help to take the edge off it so you can carry on with life:
- hot water (shower or bath) twice daily
- heat pad or hot water bottle on the pain, as needed
- you must re-lax ... get comfy as poss, then imagine yourself floating or something. Anything to get those tight muscles to let go
- keep moving as much as poss: keeping still makes it worse
- I've not found any tablet that will work as well as red wine but don't take them together

When I worked in the NHS a physiotherapist recommended that you stand with your back to the wall, your feet about 4" from the wall. You lean against the wall, shoulders back, and push the lumbar region of your back against the wall.
It's probably not the easiest description of how to overcome back pain, but if you can get my picture, it really worked for me.

Managing the pain is to treat the symptom, treating the cause is a longer term solution - so my osteo tells me (he hasn't been wrong yet).

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

Wotcha everyone back for a little while.
Thank you for your sympathies and advice, you are wonderful people.
G4 I will try to get hold of biofreeze sound good.
I've had 2 sessions with physio and another on thursday, got a sacroiliac strain caused by rotating waist whilst picking up wheelchair. Physio said no sitting at computer for long periods must walk around lots and get lots of heat into back.
MiL blaming herself.
