@variablepulserate Possibly, but the lumbar stenosis means I have a much narrower spinal canal than most folk, there's less space to work in & greater risk of making things worse.
When I say I fixed the sore back with an icepack, I meant the flare-up injury. The underlying cause of my relatively minor but permanent back pain (herniated lumbar discs & lumbar stenosis) remain unfixed.
Chump. Once again I have ignored the therapeutic value of ice. Four hours ago I applied a towel-wrapped ice-gel pack to the sorest part of my lower back. Now it's not as painful, not fixed by any means but certainly feeling far better.
@variablepulserate Only if I need to travel over 1 km on foot, back & arthritic knee doth protest mightily otherwise. Or if the right sciatica is playing up, the thing makes a seat immediately available.
@variablepulserate Due to the back in its current state. It’s always sore, but I can normally cope with it’s vagaries. But I’ve done something in the last five days to aggravate the condition. I have no clue what or when that was.
Lower back is giving much trouble today: can't think of any activity that may have strained it.
I had to bring my wheelie bin in today or it would have been vandalised or stolen, with limited mobility I used bungee cord to attach it to my rollator walker & pushed the thing back 58 very long (it seemed so to me) metres to my place.
Worked out why one pair of sweatpants was cheaper than the other: it had a different tag, identifying it as belonging in the “Men’s Casual Tops” category.
Makes sense, I guess. Pants are a very casual variety of top.
Statistics can be manipulated in many ways. I wonder what @jussipekonen thinks about this?
