"Back pain..."

...must be the most horrible pain in the world.

I suddenly had a bout yesterday that meant I spent most of the day bent over double.

Now I'm back at work today with the dilema of:-

Option 1: Stay in my seat for as long as possible as that causes me no pain whasoever, BUT then when I do have to get up, absolutely excruciating pain that means I walk like Quasimodo...
or
Option 2: Keep getting up and walking around to keep the pain less, but everyone thinking I'm insane...

The back is a horrible thing when it hurts...

Stomach cramps. Much worse.

Ear ache is the most annoying.

Ear infections are the absolute worst. Just throbs and throbs and throbs.

And still the inability to walk properly.

I think tooth ache is the worst kind of throbbing pain.

I've had awful back trouble in the last few years, and I'm not even that old. It's all rugby and sitting at a computer. There was a time a couplke of years ago, where I had excruciating pain for weeks on end.

Trust me kidney stones hurt like ****.

I had some serious back pain when I was just 12. Just starting secondary school, I didn't want to forget anything so I'd cram it all into my bag everyday. Loads of books, PE kit including a pair of trainers and a pair football boots.

It was ridiculously heavy and really screwed up my back and shoulders for a few weeks.
