Typical me.....pulled my inversion table out of the attic where it's been for 3 months or so and got on....and did a little too much. Back tender now right where my bulging discs were, I gave something a stretch it wasn't used to and it's letting me know...not pain, but the ligaments/muscles know something has happened. Let's me know that I need to keep this table where I can use it at least once a day even if my back feels fine. The muscles right around the discs wouldn't quite relax completely.....it may take another day or two before that happens.

If appropriate, buy a lumbar cushion. They allow you to sit comfortably with the right posture. Don’t cross your legs. Take ibuprofen (if you can) and keep moving.
See a physio or osteopath to get the best exercise routine.
Oh - and eat mince pies.

If you take up swimming do not use breaststroke, it will cause more problems and while I was on a very long period of rehab on my back (over 10 hrs and still having regular treatment) was advised to stay well clear of it.

I had my spine ripped out through a hole they cut in my neck and replaced with an old Rowenta kettle flex circa 1986 and held in place by the contents of a packet of giant beef hula hoops to replace the vertebrae, and I was swinging the 8 Iron ¾ by dinner time !
(seriously though; get well soon)

Im not going to tell you what happened to me, coz itll put you off treatment
Just be careful about any form of intervention, especially pain relief injections, make sure you know the risks

Indeed, but this time it was the private sector trying to kill me rather than the NHS

First session on an inversion table today.
Last session on an inversion table today ??.
That was a very unpleasant experience. Head went all over the place, cold sweat started. I was only tipped once for about 30 seconds as well ?. We immediately decided it was not for me and went for plan B.
Fair play to those who can handle that. Two hours later and I'm still not right.

We have one in my town. I hadn't thought of her for this, thought it would need something else. Thanks, I'll look in to that.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
I had a Thai massage in Thailand a couple of years ago. Started off very very nicely. Then She used her elbows, sweet mother and flippin mary. It was bloody agony. If Orchid is gonna be let loose on your back insist on no elbows. If she says “she love you long time”. Make your excuses and get the next bus home ?

How are we feeling now? I've been in awful pain this last 8 weeks. Been to see a physio on Monday and he thinks I have a slipped disc or some kind of protrusion. Either way I'm in a bad way. The prescribed tablets aren't really cutting the mustard either.
Hope you can tell me there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Co codamol and naproxen. Really cant say they have made any difference so far.

I had a pretty bad slipped disc a number of years ago and through the private med insurance through my employer only suffered for about a month until I had a Wallis implant. Best thing ever, recovery was pretty quick considering and touch wood I've hot had a peep out of it for 10+ years.

And there closed.
Hanging upside down in the loft sounds bad but sure Seve had a device to do this!
Hope you sort it nothing worse than a bad back.
