Back injury prevention

[james hailwood]

Anyone got any ideas,help,tips for preventing back pain? Ive had surgery 3 years ago on my L4/L5 herniated disc and has been pretty stable since, but this last week my back has gone again. Its a real disability im sure some of you understand when not being able to move freely. I wear a compression belt at work everyday. Heads up my arse tbh!!

Ive been using a chiropractor 3x this last week. I had an MRI Wednesday which said I had a herniated disc, I seen him the afternoon n had a little spliff in the evening (dont smoke usually) slept through all night without waking up n woke up for work with no pain at all. Pretty crazy as couple of weeks ago I felt near suicidal with it all lol. Im not saying ganja is good for ya at all but it does help a lot of people in constant pain like MS, fibromyalgia and even cancer.

They say cannabis oil has alot of healing properties, worth a try I say !

Just bought a medipen which is a vaporizer filled with cannabis oil but have the THC chemical just the CBD, so you dont get high by using it but reep the benefits. Legal in the uk and soon to be available on the NHS

Fortunately when my back has 'gone' it's been at a weekend! So haven't lost many days work.
When your self employed the bad back is never a lame excuse and my sympathy goes out to those who suffer.
I had 7 days rest before Xmas with an injury ( suffered in silence ) brought on by the slope in a swimming pool job!
