I've put my back out....guess how.......

[Nicos]

Opening the letter box!!!!!

chest height-simply opened with key- but was twisting a tiny bit instead of facing straight on.

That simple!

It's just a pulled muscle but boy does it hurt....off for my second soak of the day in a nice hot bath....


Watch out out there folks- it's a dangerous place!!!!!!

[Squeaky]

tell me about it - i fell off the edge of a hot tub at the weekend and am in serious pain!!!! hope you get well soon.....those veggies will need to be tended to!

[jacob marley]

if you have any Essence of Fennel four or five spots in a very hot bath and soak it works wonders on aches and pains.
It stinks the house out with the smell of anniseed but it is worth it....jacob

Did mine last week digging,though not my garden,I was after rag worms for fishing,use deep heat,which I find eases it a bit.

Ouch, take it easy Nicos (and everyone else who has pulled muscles)

[Nicos]

Thanks for that- what a waste of time...I've got so much to do!!!!!!!

at least I managed to kneel down and pick the strawberries before the rain comes!

Essence of fennel eh??...will try and get some- thanks!

Hope the other invalids feel better soon-see even a bath is a dangerous place!!!!

Sorry to hear your news Nicos - and yep, its easily done! Two days before we moved house, to our current house, DH was going up the stairs at his mum's, there is a left turn at the top of the stairs, and his back went! (He does have arthritis (sp?) even though he's young). That left me and my fab father in law to shift all the big pieces of furniture into the house!

[Nicos]

I know of a bloke who put his back out picking up a pencil off the floor!!!!!


Now then..this fennel/aniseed thing...I wonder if Pernod or Ricard taken internally would do the same trick????

Hi Nicos, know how you feel. When mine goes I can't walk, very painful. The first time I plugged the hairdryer in, the 2nd I was getting some juice out the cupboard x

[Madasafish]

I recommend yoga as a preventative measure...(and running ) .. and exercises...

When you are over 60 it's time to look after yourself - see Berlusconi....

[Nicos]

Easing slowly thanks..the 2nd bath certainly helped..looking forward to my back rub later!!!!

Oi!!!!!!....I'm NOT over 60!!!!!! ....actually I do go to yoga- it was the last one on Monday for the summer!

Opening the letter box!!!!!

Dear me, don't tell me that you opened a letterbox without having done a 6 month letterbox opening formation?

You are in France now Nicos.

Oooh...not had pernod & black since the good ole days!

Hope you wake up feeling a bit easier!...next time be more careful!
