Yeah BP I was doing the ice and heat there for quite awhile but the last time I did it I had a huge set back. I had to be taken to the ER via an ambulance because the pain was to sever to even move so walking/crawling was out of the question.
It might have not been the Ice that caused it but I'm too afraid to try it again and too my back always seems to flare when it turns cool out.
You don't need to be the strongest
or the most intelligent to survive
but by having the right tools and
the adaptability of change
is where you will prevail.
I have an electric heat pad next to the bed so if it gets really bad I can lay down on it and crank up the heat.
Have either of you been having increased pain before it rains?
I haven't noticed .much difference in my back in bad weather. Knees yes back not so much.
My problems other than lack of flexibility, seems to be something moving out of place and then setting off muscle spasams. The ice seems to help me more than anything for short periods. Then I'll take a good hot shower. My pt's have all recommended ice to relax the spasams.
Have y'all tried any different kinds of back braces? I'm using the one my neurosurgeon gave me but I need a full back support brace to be able to do any trail riding.
The one thing that's really annoying for me is the bone growth stimulator. 4 hours a day every day with no days off until the bone has finished growing.
