How I Get Rid of Back Pain
How I see back pain off
I have suffered with back pain on and off for about 8 years now, it effects me for months at a time to the point where I have been floored for a week or so at a time.
I am not quite sure what brought the back pain on in the first place, but three years ago I was in a car accident and since then I have been in pain nearly every day... plus spending a lot of my time at a desk does not help much either.
I recently took my own advice and started to load up on Calcium Magnesium (Solgar) tablets (take advice from your GP if you are planning on taking supplements). I took about 3 tablets just after my breakfast, 3 just after my lunch, 2 Cal Mag tablets just after my dinner and 1 tablet at night.
Within 2 days the back pain was starting to go, and within 7 days the back pain is pretty much no longer there at all. I am still getting the odd niggle in my back, especially when my posture has been poor for a wee while.
But all in I wish I had taken supplements earlier, as my diet probably does not have enough green veg in it to enable me to get enough calcium and magnesium in. Your diet is the best way to improve many health ailments but supplement can speed up the process sometimes.
I will now reduce my intake of calcium magnesium for a while to three tablets per day (as advised by the RDA [Recommended Daily Allowance - EU), one tablet per meal, I have also changed to Calcium Magnesium with Boron which are designed to support the body to retain the calcium instead of loosing much of what you are taking in.
I will see how it goes.
