Spine problems

[Rusty8]

Thank you all for answering much appreciated

I see some people can walk a few steps some not some bent over and the list goes on but I haven’t heard from anyone who has muscle problems

At this time one of my biggest problems is when I try to get skirt trousers on etc I believe I can’t get my body up straight because of excruciating pain in left thigh muscle

As anyone got similar problems

I keep on thinking if only I could get body straight and ride out pain I might be able to walk but like a lot of you my comfiest position is sat on bed 🛌 watching telly (rubbish) lol

And reading a book

I do get in wheelchair and go from one room to another ,

So please once again would appreciate replies

Thank you

I know I am 73 but would like to do a bit more

Are you able to get any physio home visits?

Are you still under an Orthopaedic Consultant? If so, phone his/her secretary and ask about this? If not then phone GP to ask about this.

Is there a Hydrotherapy Pool in the hospital in your area? If so, could you manage being taken to appointments by ambulance/patient transport services? If so ask about this??

Your muscles will tighten to protect your 'injured' back.

Acupuncture is very good for un knotting those spasms.

Perhaps your approach needs to be changed. Can you give me some more details starting with the first item of clothing. I would like to try and suggest a method of approach that may work. However, I need to try this in small steps to reach the final goal of getting skirt trousers on.

I have pain down left side of my leg and runs right down my shin bone the pain builds up that I need more pain relief I don't get much from the pain clinic, my pain gave me scoliosis and I'm like you don't seem to get much help I was told I'd need to learn to live with it

Hi Rusty

I was like that with pain and breathing but I was desperate to get out so I pushed the wheelchair until the pain or the breathing got to much then I sat on the wheelchair to rest.

It got me out a few times not all the time but it was good to get out.
