Any else out there suffer from back pain?

[Subike]

I have had lower back pain since a car decided to try and flatten me several years ago.
After some physio, i was back to work hard out, but felt the continuing niggle in my lower back.
I could go for months with no problems, then turn the wrong way,or lift the wrong way and bang, flat on my back for a couple of days min.
For the past three years I have not been in regular employment due to depression, so phisically I was a whimp

This summer I started work in a Vineyard as a casual.
Bud rubbbing at first was terribile, bent over walking 1/2k long rows. Covering up to 15km per day in this position
For the three days, I couldnt move after work, but I kept at it.
over the following weeks, the back pain slowly dissapeared.
I am now wire lifting the vines, 8 hour days, Its like lifting weights non stop.
I feared that my back would do its thing and flatten me like a train, but to date it has only got better.
Marty, your comment re the strengthing of the core back muscles. AMEN!

Hard continuous work seems to do wonders, as the body adjusts to compensate. The bonus to all this is I can now ride my Xsessive for more than 2 hours without pain, sore legs, sore arms, and tingling fingers after I get off. Great!

As for the underlay, I have been looking at purchasing one, and will be keen to see the reports from you guys as time nears winter, when I plan to buy one.

As a note, I,m 50yrs old, and are 75Kg , so dont carry any excess weight'

If you dont use it you loose it.
Now to try and get the leg muscles strengthened

I do graphic design work for the NZ importer of Beurer Therapeutic Products.
It's a small business operating out of Lower Hutt. The products are German made and of top notch quality

If anyone is seriously interested in acquiring a magnetic underlay, just PM me for details. I am party to serious discounts. Delivery to anywhere in NZ.

Cheers,
Richard.

Got the bio mag, helps my back pain OK specially first thing getting up. but just remember its not going to help a lot if your backs really really bad.

So been using the magnetic underlay for a while now, and I love it!!! Even the hubby likes it, especially after soccer training when his legs are sore but fine in the morning!!!
One question.... does anyone else find that their bottom sheet slips constantly to one side? My boss bought one also and she commented that her bottom sheet moves all the way to her hubby's side, ours goes towards my side, but was going to the hubby's side before we turned the underlay around.... very strange!!!

Tell me about the Biomag Magnetic Underlay anyone? And how does that compare to the Contour Cloud Sleeping System from Guthy Renker?

Jeez, you'd think this was Pacific Radio online.

It's the lambswool in the underlays that makes the difference - the magnets are total hokum.

I have never tried one. However I considered buying one a few months back. However when I researched them I came to the same conclusion as vifferman. For the magnets to be strong enough to have any effect on your body theyd have to be strong enough to attract a metal bar from quite some distance.

Also you can get a larger magnetic field by sleeping with an electric blanket on.

Ill be getting an ordinary lambswool one when I get around to it.
