Finally went to the back Doc and let him "Crack " me . It is scary at first but after a few times i just feel SO much better !!

Just a thought !

My father had back problems for years. He did the injections, chiropractors, and some device you wear that shocks the pain points. He was practically begging the doctors to operate, but they all said the same thing, his back could end up worse.

Eventually he got to the inversion board and it worked better than anything else. He even takes it on vacation. No more pain meds, just 15 minutes of hanging as needed.

Worked for him!

Have not tried the inversion table yet, but I did find a way to kill my lower back pain that I've had for close to 20 years and have a little fun for $160. I did this back at the end of February 09 and the lower back pain has disappeared. The 5000ft mark I felt my whole back align..

Default Take Off A Day To Rest When Hurtin

Like I said earlier,since last sunday afternoon I have been going wide open.On jan 7th ,when I turned 60 I made a commitment to stop giving away so many simple plumbing repairs calls that I cut my teeth on.But I know now why I started doing more sewers and drains.Holding up a disposal with 1 hand,putting on lav faucet in small vanity that the drawers would not come out and cabinet was bolted to wall braced with 2x4s so I had very limited space to feel the nuts to get the basin wrench on, putting on a tub waste@overflow by getting HO to hold drain in place in basement while I got drain started(push and pull type) and clearing a few drains just had me plain tired this AM so I am gonna stay here until lunch rest ,then go to (BPS) bass pro shop and kill the rest of afternoon unless I get a call, but in meantime its good quiet time since I got 3 lined up for tommorrow so far .And try to get a few more posts in I have been here longer than some who have many more I wish nathan would look at when I joined and granfather me in at 250 like it was when I joined I hate to post just to post with really nothing new to say .But I will keep on keeping on lol

RR, Get you one of the Ridgid tools for the supply lines, nuts, strainers. I picked up one at the box, and they work great. I hate basin wrenches with a passion.

A preventative measure for future back pain is definitely to work on strengthening your core muscles (abs etc). Whenever I start feeling back strain at work, I make sure I focus on my core muscles for the next few weeks at the gym and it really helps.
