Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to shift really bad backache? I can’t sit comfortably, not even my recliner is helping. I’m just constantly uncomfortable and in pain. I’m taking CoCodamol as part of my treatment for my arthritis and I’ve already had my quota of them with no relief from the pain. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Not sure if it’s connected to the little beggar or just a sore back but it’s blooming painful. Sorry to be such a baby with this, I can cope with all the pain connected to the arthritis but I just don’t seem to be able to handle backache.

    Hi Abs61,

    I suffer with my lower back as well, I take painkillers but I also rely on my trusty hot water bottle which for me is a Godsend !

    Hi Just65,

    Thank for your help, going to try that as it’s getting beyond a joke, I just woke up and it’s still bothering me. I think the heat in bed may have helped me snooze through the night, I was waking up every 2hrs or so in pain. I hate bothering my GP during this Covid19 thing but I may need to if this doesn’t shift or at least ease up a bit. Thanks again.

    A heat pad .  I sometimes have problems with my back and heat really helps.  I have a heat pad ( you can find assorted designs on Amazon) and an electric blanket for bed .  Really does help.
