Arch supports from at Wal-mart cured the neuroma bumps on my arches on bottom of foot.
I tried shot of cortizone first bu had already read that that would only be temporary and that was correct.
I stong back from good physique and years of hard work, however, my first lower back pain oocurred-- probably from twisting while stressed motion -- in 1981 I felt need to take the afternoon off and next day all was bettern.
Since then, each time the lower back has taken a little more time to fix each time. Two times now I was out of work for 5 days and the next week I just worked bent over with pain cause need money.
My fix is to do IBprofen and lots of walking, however, there is one procedure that I do religously every morning before getting out of bed and will do severalk times a day if back is hurt.
Before getting out of bed, bring knees to chest. Maybe rock a little bit and try to arch head between legs to get maximum amont of stretch.
Two years ago, I got a new injury to my spine, from carrying a 6x6 treated lumber to my truck and from truck to work site.
Stupid, cause now I will get this annoying little pain sometimes ex when straining on toliet, on that spot on spine/vertabrae.
That was 2nd most stupid thing I've done in my life and the first also involed my spinal chord but was fortunate I did not injure myself seriously.
Sitting around all day on Sunday is hard on my back.
