You know what really grinds my gears?

The GAA version is "I suppose".

Obviously is a word Stuart Pearce loves & Donegal players love saying "well you know" & Mayo players "in fairness"

Being crippled for two days with back pain (and dont get me started on that deep heat cream!)- and then to add insult to injury they're just showing repeats of wife swap usa this morning!

[Hardy]

I've been getting back pain out of the blue for years. Hardly able to move for a couple of days, then it goes away again. Then a few months ago, someone showed me a stretching exercise that works wonders. It gives immediate relief from the pain and inability to move and even if/when the pain comes back, a few of these stretches and it's gone again.

Of course whether it'll work or not depends on the source of the pain, but it might be worth a try. I'm not sure how well this description will work, but get down on your hands and knees, not in a square posture, but with arms a bit out in front and legs a bit out at the back - i.e. not like this: Π, like this: /¯\. Arch up your back as much as you can and keeping it arched, bring your arse back onto your heels and your head down between your arms touching your forehead to the floor. Your hands stay put, but at the end your arms should be stretched out in front of you. You should feel the muscles at the base of your back stretched. Repeat a few times.

I presume any exercise that stretches the back muscles (you can find loads of them) will work as well; that's just the one I use.

If you're not serious that's a really good wind up, get me down on the ground to do that. 
This is the same as yours, started a couple of months ago, I feel a twinge in my lower left side of the back and within 5 minutes I'm crippled. Felt it yesterday morning after I got up, not doing anything major, crippled now and I could be fine in five minutes, I can't bend my back and nothing eases the pain!

[Hardy]

It's not a wind-up. I'm not that funny.

[pintsofguinness]

Ok I'll give it a go, even though I've a bad knee and going on my hands and knees is quite painful as well....

Muscle pain and badly sunburnt at the same time from a hard days work outside yesterday, I tried to have a shower to relax my muscles but was left screaming in pain as the jets of water hit my red-raw arms, face and kneck.

[pintsofguinness]

Not a bad tip hardy! Didn't shift the pain fully but loosened up the back, feels better.
The floor needs hoovered though.

[Puckoon]

Hardy that sounds like you're doing the yoga position "the dog".

I like how you drew it out though.

Horrible feeling! On the other hand having a quick cold shower when you're in this sort of state feels unreal.
