Question
Hello,
My mother is in pain at the moment in her lower back. She has not been injuired but this pain happened in the same place a year ago where i took her to a&e after a nasty fall and they gave her some painkillers and the pain went away.
The pain is not as bad as last year but she cant bend down and it hurts getting up.
All help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Thanks for writing!

The amount of water intake is vital in back pain. There is a good book on the subject by Dr. Batmanhelidj "How to deal with Back Pain--". It contains specific positioning exercises which can cure back pain safely and immediately. As long as one is drinking enough good water, that is.

What part of the world are you in?
