                Aww Nick.!! Don't use the spell checker to much it won't be the same..!! :heehee:

                I know you cannot sit around any longer I understand that, but you should get yourself a proper boned back brace to wear when you are working if your back problem is lower back.. As you know my S in L has actually broken his back twice & he wears this type of thing when he is working to help support the lower back break damage.. He works 6 days a week again now so there is hope for you yet mate... ;) ;)
                :nonofinger: No going silly at it nice & steady.... If you think one of these will help get one mate.. :thumbsup: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001M08WSO/?tag=hydra0b-21&hvadid=9556672869&ref=asc_df_B001M08WSO

                    FM: my mother was told she would never walk again without the aid of a whale bone corset (and a plethora of drugs!); crack in the spine. Now, she was a determined (aka stubborn?) Yorkshire woman, with 5 youngish kids to bring up. Did she take any notice of her prognosis? Did she hell as like!!!!

                    She did what she could; she did what she desired to do; she wouldn't take a "bed rest" approach to her condition. She knew she had one life and one chance to do what she set out to do.

                    Now, I'm not saying being a stubborn, Yorkshire woman is the answer to all ills! ;) What I *am* saying is this: follow your heart/determination; you will know when enough is enough. Just so long as you *listen* and don't turn a deaf ear!! Listen to your body and take its cue ;)
