Hi Wendy, I'm sorry that your husband is having such debilitating pain! I have some idea of what he's going through dealing with constant back pain and how hard it can be to be still through the worst of it. I have learned if I don't listen to the warning signals, that first "ice pick to the spine", that I will soon find myself flat on my back, incapacitated. A couple of Chiropractors have helped me, PT has helped, stretching and yoga have helped, but I've also learned to listen and not continue to push myself when those painful warnings come. I find taking some ibuprofen, (I don't have insurance right now either and can't get the "good stuff" muscle relaxers), laying flat on my back with a heating pad to relax the muscles around my spine, and gentle stretching exercises will put me back into alignment. Tie that husband to the bed if you have to! I can't imagine he'd resist all that much if you offer to massage his back for him! Prayers that he feels better soon, Nina wendy wrote: <>> I have been coaxing my husband each time he has an episode to try to relax and not tense up, but it's hard for him not to. > |
