BACKACHE.






 

 

 

 

Backache.

 

Backache happens in dozens of ways.

You bend over to pick up a toy, suddenly

you are doubled over in pain. You take a long drive,

or sit through a tense business meeting, you can have backache.

 

The question is how to stop the pain.  Aspirin is the cure, plus

just do not do anything, just lie down and take rest.  There are

some basics for backs which proved useful.

 

  1. If you are going to be standing in one place, ironing for example,

prop one foot on a chair or stool, switch legs after a while.

 

  1. If you keep your knees higher than your hips, it will reduce

the pressure on your spine, prop up your feet on a desk tool or the like.

 

  1. While bending, bend from the knees not from the waist and hug the

object close to your body.

 

  1. While driving take rest stops.  Slip a pillow behind your back.
  2. While sleeping, sleep on the side with knees bent or if you sleep

on your back, put  pillow under the knees.

 

It is important as to how you think about your back pain.  You may feel helpless

fearful of doing the simplest things or armed with the knowledge, you can

face the problem. Back spine surgery is not advisable.
