Back pain. A mystery/misery for sufferers. I have good days, often when I've route-marched around the city dashing to meetings and catching trains. Then bad days, often when I've been mainly deskbound. The best time is when I'm in the saddle. Somehow that position relieves the grief source and gives me an endorphin boost and if I'm lucky some thoughtful twat will pull out in front of me and I get an adrenalin boost too. I do pelvic tilt exercises daily without fail and will do forever because I'm getting stronger and straighter as a result. And it's good to have a task. Given to me by my very good private physio. PM me for a contact. It's a long haul with back issues and requires patience, persistance and dedication to make an improvement. My sympathies go out to all who suffer.
Ps I do use the tube, rarely and reluctantly, and often wish I could wear an I've Got A Bad Back badge. As I get older I guess I'll be offered a seat anyway. Mel. 61 today.
