If you're feeling hormonal and moody, the best thing you can do is tell your hubby up front: 'I know it isn't your fault, but it isn't my fault either. Unfortunately I'm a slave to my hormones and they make me feel crap. Pleas bear with me, and if need me give me a wide berth until I tell you I feel better' :-)

Hey no worries, happy to help. A good combo of painkillers for me eases back pain, or a heat patch, or a tens machine can awesomw for back pain.

Hi!
My best tip is using ice for the lower back - I find that helps me so much it's like a night/day difference. Try ice and see if that works...make sure you cover your ice pack with a towel if it's too cold, you should have something fabric between you and the ice pack and only for 20-25 min max.
Hope this helps!

I'm actually a big fan of heat too. I have a lot of neck problems and sitting in a hot bath really helps relax everything. Usually for chronic pain you use heat, and for new/acute pain from injury you use ice.
BUT, if ice makes you feel better then whatever works!

[nibletz]

Thanks guys...I've been trying heat but it only helps a bit could it somehow be endo?
It hurts right on my spine...maybe I need an analgesic cream Hmmm but anti inflammatory things make me wheeze just can't win lol will check.with doc on monday n thanks for all advice will have a hot bath tommorow n soak

[hellsbells]

Have a look for a tens machine, sounds like it could be a good option for you

[nibletz]

HAHA this makes me want to revive our thread "You know you have endo when...."

You know you have endo when you ask for a tens machine for your wedding anniversary. LOL!

From my experience in the rehab world, If you can work with your doctor to get a TENS through insurance you will get a much better machine for less out of your pocket. That's true in the states, not sure about what you can get across the pond

[hellsbells]

I got mine free from the pain clinic anyways :-)
