A physio once said to me, 'you have a bad back for life, it only ever gets worse'

I believe this to probably be true, one of my many reasons for not being as active as i used to be is my back........and my knees......and my ankles.....

That is very encouraging, thanks!

Its rubbish, I have tried most things, my back has never ever been the same after I had a lumbar puncture performed when i was ill in hospital.

My work mate has private healthcare through work and has been trying all sorts, he has even gone to the extent of have pain killer injected directly into pain nerves in his back. Still didnt work. His case is a little different to most though.

It is really starting to p1ss me off. I am currently running 35-40 miles per week just to stop the pain. That is just ridiculous.......

I have even tried acupuncture and I hate needles. That was cr@p too.

I have no idea where to turn next I have had an MRI and a bone scan but both were inconclusive.

Oddly enough, my GP rides a GS1200 too. What is it with you medical types and BMWs?

Depending on what the problem with your back is you could try a osteopath to diagnose WHERE in your back has a problem then speak to a Pilates instructor to give you exercises to strengthen the muscles in that part of the back. Worked for me, I have a weak L4/5 disc/vertebrae and the exercises have helped a lot.

Bellerophon? I think he is a paramedic.
