    Hi Dee,

    Yes lower back pain is part of my daily life but all I can do is try to do things to alleviate at least the worst of it. I lived in Massachusetts for many years and Winters are harsh there and cold is not my friend. Temps got as cold as 10 degrees below zero. Im not sure where in the world you live but if cold, prepare

      Hi Jack . I live in England. Yes the great weather moaners.  I think that the whole of the uk would shut down with temperatures like yours.  The coldest it gets is about _ 1. I’ve got an anti inflammatory gel to rub in from my doctor . Over here when you reach 60 you get free medicine. But our health service is a nightmare . Because the conservative government closed hospitals wards and hospitals . Halved the nursing staff . Anyway moan over . I was interested in the percentage of people with pps that suffer with lower back pain . Because most of the problem is muscle based . Good luck to sir wrap up warm  . Kind regards Dee

    Hello Danila and Jack,

    I really hate the cold - as you know Danila we had some amazingly hot weather here this year.  Jack the English always complain about our weather and in the hot spell most people moaned!!  I did not, but I know it does not agree with everyone.

    The Brits do have good points too!!

    Good luck to all,
