Back ache

[Countrybumpkin]

The last few days my back has got worse and worse, and then last night the sciatica pain was nearly unbearable, i gave in and ask hubby to give me a back massage. I was feeling a bit guilty to ask him as he only had a major back operation 5 weeks ago himself.

Well with all the physio he has been having on his back, he must have learnt a lot about giving a back message, my back feels super this morning.

OK i might speak to soon, but even a few hours of back free pain sounds wonderful to me

Any advise or makes and models of good office chairs that i could look into buying for sitting at the desk?? I don't think my current one is giving me enough support, in the right places.

i advise a gym ball! best thing to sit on if you have a bad back as you support yourself but they are surprisingly comfortable!! i suffer with severe sciatica, and that's one of the best things for me is even just lying over a gym ball. helps a lot. x

Thanks flexilexi394, got a gym ball will do some more sitting on it than i have been. Was doing Pilates but missed 4 classes and with it not being pregnancy pilates i thought it might be best to leave it till after having a baby. Do wonder if not going to this has made a difference too. Now the back is hurting i have ordered a pregnancy pilates DVD to see if that helps too.

Think bump is too big to lay across the gym ball now.

I find that kneeling and resting forward on a gym ball helps align my back and stops it aching x that and sitting on it are the only two positions I can get comfortable in at the moment, really wish I could sleep on the ball! Lol
