A number of years ago my wife was washing the bathroom floor and she turned to move the water bucket. When she did so, she twisted her back and a sharp pain shot through her lower back, kocking her to the floor where she was somewhat wedged between the toilet and the bathtub! The pain was so bad that she could not get back up to her feet, or even to her knees.

After a while she was able to slowly get herself free and crawl out of the bathroom, down the hall, through the dinning room and finally into the kitchen. Once in the kitchen she was able to grab the long cord hanging from our wall phone and yank it lose.

Fortunately she was able to call me and I rushed home to assist her and take her to the hospital. She ended up in bed for a week before she recovered. Since then, she has to be very careful of her lower back.

For years I never understood the pain she had gone through. I was lucky enough to have a fairly strong back. But about two years ago, I was spreading some sand with a shovel and as I twisted around to fling the sand to one side, I was suddenly aware of a pain in my lower back.

For the rest of the week, I moved like a very old man and in fact ended up using a cane to help ease the pain as I walked.

After these experiences, I became very interested in the problems of lower back pain. Finally, I decided to try to help others that find themselves in a similar position.

So, I hope that what is posted here will help you find remedies to solve or at least provide some relief to your back pain or other similar body pains.

Wishing you all the best of health,
