today is one of those days my upper thorasic back is yelling a sort of jiggly pain that hammers down from between the shoulder blades towards your bum.
I wonder if the rheumy I saw on Wed has ever experienced such pain - I think not- where you are unshaw of where to move and how to hold yourself. Tightly gives little relief so I sit swaying endeavouring to loosen it a little.
Not a Tango more a strange sinuous epilogue to a off beat modern dance.
Curioser said Alice (at least she could fit down a rabbit hole no chance for me I would be jammed in like Phoo bear.

So sorry you're in pain, but what a lovely image of the 'pain-relief dance'. Off to get my own coffee now, might try dancing while I make it!
Argghhhhhhh ouch oooh ohhh and other groans ..... After taking my antibiotics for a day and a half I can see an improvement in my infection BUT my back pain is actually coming from the base of my spine and the tender pressure point to the left of that, so obviously my antibiotics aren't going to touch that and the only pain med I am allowed to take is paracetamol, as much use as a chocolate tea pot ... I might as well stand naked on the forum and let you all throw smarties at me would have the same result for pain relief and the shame might take my mind off the pain... So I will join you all in the back dance Conga of pain, until Raemmomma ,s back goes into spasm and turns it into a limbo competition
Apparently smarties have the answer though ... shame we don't know what the questions is ...
I usually laugh when the Dr says "try taking some paracetamol" It just proves they've never ever experienced the type of pain we all do on a day to day basis.
I watched one of those "rescue" programmes the other night ... usually involving helicopters and flying dr's - you know the ones I mean. They go to these rescues and presume the worse ... broken bones, spinal damage etc. Then they give the patients morphine and entinox and go on about them being in severe pain. Fly them off to hospital and they narator says "so'n'so was released from hospital the same day as the pain was due to a muscle spasm"
It makes me want to chuck summat at the tv!! They're there screaming and shouting and been given morphine and entinox for a muscle spasm and we're told to take a paracetamol, stop moaning and get back to work!!!
