When I had RSI/back pain it was hard for them to take it seriously because it's all about referred pain from who knows where, crossed nerves etc. If there's no other options I'd recommend massages... that was part of my physio and literally the highlight of my week. Deep tissue, fingers digging in massage. It was painful in itself but a good kind of pain... a relieving kind of pain. And a substitute for it is to get a tennis ball and stand with your back to a wall and roll the ball between your back and the wall. If you get it in the right places you can feel it rolling out the knots in your back just as a massage would. Massage is obviously better but that still does a very good job
Thanks squishy, love. Yes, I was referring to my back pain, but also towards my other half. When I came out of my procedure, it was made perfectly clear to him that for 48 hours I was not to lift, carry, push, pull, bend over or otherwise exert myself. Yet today I found myself doing some of those very things. And the man watched me do them full well knowing I shouldn't have had to. So yeah, I was pissy.
Broke down and took a damn pain pill earlier too.
And to add...this isn't muscle pain. It's seven herniated discs from my mid to lower back, stemming from a car accident 20-some years ago.
I'm sorry your husband was so insensitive *hugs* I hope you're feeling better now
