Sonds more like nerve damage to me

Slipped two disks in my lower back last year. Which then led to sciatic pain my left leg for 3 months

Its all heeled now mind and back to normal. Did this carrying some birch trees to the garden to plant. They weighed 50-60kg

I think we can forget we are not as young as we once were mate

I now do stretches when ever I do any heavy lifting and think because I did not here. Is why my back was fucked

It was fine the first day I planted the trees, but 2 days later. Oh my goodness, but the spasms in my lower back when walking. Was agony.

Stupidly, I tried to work this off. Of which its advisable to do, but lol no. Ended up in bed for a week. Laughing

I know what caused the original injury a few years back

I was unloading ...on my own, 2 of 12 ft by 10 inch square english oak gate posts out of the back of my van, by sliding them out....pulling on them with both arms. I felt a twinge when I was doing that but it wasnt unrill I woke up the next morning unable to move my left arm and shoulder and in serious pain that I reralised what I'd done...went to the doc...who said, hard luck...it will get better.....eventually.......now take two kapake as needed....

2 of those = 4hrs with the fairies.......

yep didge similar thing, and you are right it is nerve damage...the nerve gets stretched.trapped when the muscle is damaged....pain and tingling from shoulder down arm to little and 3rd finger on left hand...

god knows what those gateposts weighed, and you are right we DO forget we aint as young as we used to be....

by Victorismyhero Sun Mar 24, 2019 5:18 pm

I sympathise mate. Its horrible, the back spasms I had were intense. Never had anything like that before.

I think we just know we can lift them and move them, as we have before

It really shows how the body ages

Rest up mate and hope you recover soon

trouble is ..we think we are like the dragons in Anne Maccaffreys dragon song books the Pern series

when asked how much a dragon can lift the reply comes "as much as it thinks it can"

lol, mate that day, I felt shattered, but never felt like I had any injury.

It was only 2 days later when standing up. That it took me a minute to stand up properly when getting up from sitting down. After that, it only got worse.

I think its a stubborn thing mate. I remember my late father telling me about my grand father first heart attack. Who was as strong as an ox, with a bull neck. Was a boxer also. When 76, he helped lift this outboard motor for a boat for these young lads. He then had a heart attack, soon after. When he woke in the hospital, he moaned as to why he was in a ward with old people.. Laughing

Bless him

Sometimes we simple do not recognise our bodies get older.

As our minds believe we are still 21.

Referred pain from the Trapezius can be commonly misdiagnosed. It can cause symptoms of shoulder bursitis, or a pinched nerve. Have you been to a chiropractor or had some deep tissue massage?

Sounds painful LF... but if it's any consolation, in the last 3 weeks I have been suffering with a fractured big toe, a strained shoulder, and last few days have had a bad cold or flu... and now I've started getting an achilles heel pain in my other foot...!

Oh... and I've also had a nasty little slice across the outside joint of one of my fingers for last few days too...!
