    Just removed on strip.
    It had come unstuck and was interfering with my underpants.

      Oh dear god. Pleeeeeeeeez blokes. Don't go in for any of these waxing, manicures, spray tans, highlights etc etc. just be blokes, like modern day cave men. The younger generation (ie my son) pay way too much attention to beauty treatments. That's our domain. It's not attractive on males!

        You could try a thong, pete ... after all, backs need looking after but underpants are just ... well ... pants!

                Guys KT Tape definitely works
                With the pain when it is ripped off, you will have forgotten the bad back

                    My physio has moved me on to Rock Tape today, less give and more stick - feels like someone's holding my shoulder all the time.

                        Lots of athletes use the tape and there are different strengths of it. Mrs Shiney had seriously damaged her knee and apart from helping it get better it allowed her to walk - which she wasn't able to do without it. :blue thumb:

                        Here's some info.

                          The Chiro, pulled the second bit off my back yesterday and didn't mention it again.

                          I think its one of those things whereby if you think it will help, it will, if you dont, it wont.

                          Someone appears to have made a lot of money out of it though.

                          My thoughts, for what they are worth:biggrin: are that if you've pulled a muscle a bit of strapping will probably help, as to the other claims for the stuff,...... its pie in the sky.:)
