Chronic Low Back Pain
Tuesday, April 14th, 2009Chronic Low Back Pain - How to Relieve Acute, Chronic Low Back Pain
Sometimes severe and chronic low back pain happens out of the blue "While shaving one day, I bent over the sink and experienced a stabbing pain between my hips - it was the worst experience of chronic low back pain I’ve ever had. It took me 10 minutes to get from the bathroom to the bedroom, which was only about 20 feet away."
A garden centre worker had a similar tale: "I was lifting a small plant. My back wasn’t properly lined up, as I was bending over at the hips. I suffered an intense and chronic low back pain so severe that I could not sit or stand and had to actually crawl into the doctor’s office." Sometimes it happens after days or weeks of warning signs. "I had been packing and lifting cartons for two weeks in preparation for moving," a pizza restaurant owner reported. "My back felt like hell, but then it had always been a bother. I was a little worried about it, but I figured, ‘I can stand the pain. It’s just the price you have to pay.’ Besides, I was doing my back exercises. Then one morning I woke up and couldn’t believe the immense chronic low back pain. There was no way I could move. I could barely breathe, the pain was so intense. It took me almost an hour to get out of bed.
"Chronic low back pain was nothing new to me," a sales representative said, "but if you had told me I could have been out of work for six weeks with it, and not even have something like a ruptured disc, I would have laughed. After putting in a lot of overtime, though, and gritting my teeth about the chronic low back pain that I was experiencing all that time, I got up from my chair, reached for my attache case to leave for home, and wound up being taken to the hospital in an ambulance."
