I'm a bloody idiot!
« on: June 09, 2017, 07:32:42 AM »
I tried to pick up a gearbox and have done my back in - again!

What's more, I knew I shouldn't have been trying to pick it up in the first place

Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn!

Sorry to hear of your misfortune Richard, I know exactly what you are going through so complete rest is the answer, hope you recover quickly.

Rest, rest and more rest is the order of the day, Richard, together with a good amount of relaxation.

Get better soon

As a fellow back sufferer and one who is also impatient you have my complete sympathy. I do hope that it gets better quickly - the win prevents concentration and spoils just about everything.

Bad news. I also cross my fingers for you. Twice in my life I had a lumbago and it was awful...

Hi Richard, that sounds miserable. I hope you do all the good things - rest, physio, followed by gentle mobilization and pain meds if you need... All The Best, Marc

I took some action immediately, and it has paid off. I am pretty much back in action now. That's unusual for me, it generally takes a week or two to get over back problems

Thanks for your kind words, everyone

Great to hear you are on the mend Richard, but still take it very easy for a while yet. My last back injury put me in hospital for 4 days, not very pleasant.
