Ok Aeolar

I'm to just put DebraJane dream.

Ok, I am on my phone right now and I am finding it difficult to navigate. When I get to an Internet Cafe I will try and edit my other contribution to the game. If I can't edit I will hopefully be able to defeat the old ones and get it right here on in.

What do you mean Aeolar

Please title your entry into the Shared Dreaming Journal correctly. It's at the top of the journal. Please don't do it again.

I couldnt fit all my message, but I also wanted to say that I really dont have much that helps my pain. I use to combine ibuprofen and Tylenol, but I didnt want to take that for a long period of time. The one thing that actually does make my back feel a little better, is those icy hot patches for the back. It doesn't really take the pain away, but rather masks the pain or numbs my lower back.

Hey there! Well I use to take pain medication for my pain but they were really addicting and that's just a road I dont want to go down. Im currently seeing a chiropractor and have been in a group physical therapy class in the past. Right now im just doing stretches and strengthening exercises. The best stretch for taking my pain away is the cat pose and pelvic tilt. I dont know exactly where your pain is, but that's what helps my back. Its tough dealing with chronic pain, but you just have to be strong. I know you've probably had your pain longer than me, but I'll keep you on my mind and just know people are going through the same thing as I speak. I hope everything turns out well for you.

Follow Australian.. hi!

Lol I know... I was chuckling over it myself for quite a while!

Oh man, unfortunately I don't know any secrets about pain control... wish I did! A couple of things I've found, and this is specifically for lower back pain, is to keep your core in fairly decent shape... maybe do 20 or so crunches and an equal number of back-arches every few days to keep the tension balanced and keep those muscles able to hold you up. It's also important to keep your legs stretched and get a little exercise for them... tight hamstrings can cause a lot of back pain. And also I seem to feel better on days when I get out and do stuff, especially with people... laying around too much can just make it worse. But I don't know if your pain is similar to mine or not. One thing that helps me... my dog makes sure I walk her a lot, and that helps!
