Oh the cruel irony...

Well i found out that my local drain was fishable so thought i would venture out for a piking sesh after going stir crazy the past couple of weeks...bending down to grab my boots and head out the door and my lower back tears. Ouch. Extremely painful and a problem i've had before. Bollox, bollox, Bollox...
Spent all day popping pain pills and trying to find a comfy position on the sofa.
Just hope i can get it sorted out before the local lakes become fishable again!

int that just about right!!!!
All this crap weather, we get a slight let up and that happens,
Hope you heal soon mate....

ouch!!! know all about back pains not good
on the bright side you,ll soon be out getting a bend in your rod no doubt

surprisingly the drains are still frozen down here but should be fishable by tuesday i can,t wait to get amongst them again

Not good Rob
I know what a bad back is like mate it can be murder

Hope you get well soon mate

Adie

Hope you get well soon mate

bad news pal hope it gets better soon.Back pain is a killer for me to at times,comes with my job.Ive 2 disks that fuse together an cause,s loads of pain.

cheers fellas
I'm not new to all this - the original damage was done when i was 17 during a rugby match when the scrum collapsed and I got badly injured (my vertibrae popped apart and caused loads of nerve damage)...never been the same since. Seems to come around every 2-3 years...just as i'm thinking my back is stronger again
Shovelling snow and doing a lot of manual work can't have helped lately...typical it goes when i was doing something mundane like bending to pick up a shoe

I gave myself a groin strain last week putting my socks on....no kidding. I hadn't moved in bed all night, which isn't unusual (my ex thought I had died one night). Sat up and went straight for my socks cos it was cold. Twang!

No can-can dancing for me.

Methinks I'll have a stretch first from now on...or at least until the temp. gets up a bit.

are you sure it was your sox andy..............you were going for

My boiler was gubbed last week with the condenser pipe freezing solid. I'm quite sure it was my socks I was going after.

I might be a pervert but even I have my limits...

i remember one christmas mate bending down to pick something up of the floor .......bang 4 days on my back even missed christmas dinner that was a holiday to remember......... no fishing was the downer

well after 9hrs in A&E, sensitivity tests and an MRI scan i luckily found out I dont need an op (which is what was talked about initially by my GP) but i do have a slipped disc, torn ligaments and nerve damage. Been told to rest up for a few days and take take tablets. Hopefully see some improvement soon.
Thank god for good fishing books and the PS3...

Sheesh man...

Not good.

Hope you feel better soon mate

Sounds bad Rob
Hope it gets better soon mate

You did that reaching for boots??? Imagine what could have happened if you has actually done something really strenuous, like putting the rubbish out or going for a turd.


Sorry mate....just trying to lighten things up....

no offense taken
