Aching Backs

Posted on 14th February 2010 by Kristy in health

Hubby bought me a back massager for Christmas, and it does a pretty good job. I have a lot of back pain when I spend much time in front of the computer. It’s not so bad that I need to consider ankylosing spondylitis treatment or anything like that, but it does get pretty painful and cramped up. A real massage is much better, but when that’s not an option I can hook up my massager, kick back in the recliner, and get some relief.

I haven’t used it much lately, because I have been away from the computer for the most part. But I’m gradually getting back into my work, and the pain is coming back. So I’ll probably have to fire the massager up pretty soon.

I’ve tried to get Hubby to try it when he gets backaches, but haven’t had any luck. I mean, he’s taken it for a test drive just to see how it worked, but he hasn’t used it when he was really having problems. Maybe if I keep after him he’ll eventually give in. I know he bought it for me, but as far as I’m concerned, what’s mine is his.

  1. Hi Kristy,
    I have the same problem and know exactly what you mean. I also have very bad back pain when I spend a lot of time in front of the computer. Unfortunately it’s my work to spend time in front of it. So I bought me a back massager, too. I use it every evening after work. If I don’t it would hurt me much more. To grant me something good I’m going once a month to a real massage and I really enjoy it. You have to indulge you a regular real massage ;)
