Back it Up
Wish I could do a reboot to an previous date and it would be fixed. I was getting out of the wheelchair a few weeks back and for some unknown reason dropped to the floor normally not a problem but seems I jarred my back.
Well I am glad a special project and a couple of others were all finished prior hurting my lower back. I have been suffering for about a week left hip, leg ankle swelling (unless I up my Rocket sox on). I can stretch and ease the pain and ache. I feel the click/clack of joints when twisting, stretching and the tight muscle. I can lay down but sitting still for more than 30 mins bummer so all work will now be go slow but more exercise. Guess the recent rain hasn't helped arthrits either.
No Fletty doesn't mean I can't play Santa's workshop.

Hi Ray,
Sounds a real bummer but good to see you are still getting on with things. I suppose the best outcome is to get so involved you for get about it and it gets the sulks about being ignored and goes away.
RegardsHugh

Damn, there's nothing worse than a bad back that causes other problems, still the bright side is your still alive and still able to do the the things you like albeit on a smaller scale for a shorter time? I hope it gets better sooner rather than later though.

Thanks Hugh and Robert had some more time out in the shed this morning drilling some blanks for the LOML's drop spindles not to hard to do. But then the ache returns so back in for some rest and try again this afternoon.

My sympathies. Lower back pain seems to consume my conscious thought as a miserable distraction.
The real hell of it is that as we get older, these things take longer to repair.
I tore some lower right ribcage cartilage last June. While the pain was gone after 6 weeks,
it's still there, I can feel it.
If the lower back muscles spasm = pain. To ease that, try gently, gently raising one hand for as
high as you can reach. Straight up, head looking forward not up at your hand.
Gotta go slowly to stretch things out.
Then bring your hand down to your lap and go with the other hand.
Do no more than 5X and no more than 3X/day.
I learned this back in the mid-1980's (picking cherries) and I've not been
troubled since. I do this whenever I feel a lower back "twinge."

Thanks Fletty for calling in yesterday sorry I couldn't show more pain/agony as Sue said if you'd seen me Sunday.
RV doing all the stretching, twisting, keeping active and moving as I can but still R&R when it dictates. Thanks for the hints.

I can only offer the one exercise which actually did work.
My D1 was a big-shot RAD ballet dancer.
She said: "Oh, that's the such-and such exercise."
I don't recall the name she gave it.
There were days, with my forehead against the wall,
that I could lift my arms to slowly slide
them up the wall just twice in that exercise.
My RH has been mashed up a few times. Most recently was a
detached thumb ligament (tendon?) and stuff ripped up all the way into
my elbow. Dang but that hurt for a long time. Thumb rejoined OK.
Bluegrass banjo picking trumps anything a physio ever suggested.

Thanks RV wish i could stand and let go of the bench to even try that I am hoping.
Back has improved greatly no more leg and ankle pain or movement pain. Sill taking it easy for a few days there's tool sales on at H&F and trend so that I hope will ease any residual pain except in the hip pocket

Sorry to hear of your latest plight Ray but to use an
old expression, "It only hurts when I laugh" might be
in order.
Pity, I can't think of anything funny to say.
Get well mate.

Thanks Allan much improved.
Weather was playing a big part as was a stool in the shed which required a fix.
