Thanks so much ladies, I'm going to be creative with meds today. I'm going to try alternating the NSAID with paracetamol every two hours to see if that works. Need some relief as I can't stand all day. I lay on my back on the floor in the sitting room with my head propped up on two cushions to watch TV last night. Totally ridiculous but it was the only position that was comfortable! Jeez, these old bones!!
JuJu, my physio told me not to put ice on my disc problems only on new injuries so I'm really confused now. I've always applied heat when the back plays up but it's not working this time and neither is anything else!! Hubby has been icing since his break, the leg is still pretty swollen. I might google this heat v cold thing and see if I can find a medical explanation.
Thanks ladies xx
