Had a bad back ache for a week now.This time on the side,top hip bone area.Gets stiff if I sit down too long.Could be old age related,cooler weather or just a warning to take it easier.

Yes the cooler weather this winter has hit me for six I am in agony yes it is never been good but now I am 61 this winter has hit me the hardest

this is hard to explain but chronic sever pain does more than hurt

I tend to switch off I can site and watch tv and not know what is on the brain is an amazing thing and has its own way of dealing with things like this

any one else struggling with the cold ?

bad new weather review is colder wetter winter expected for some part of Australia.

Mine seems to be a bit worse in winter but I've started wearing thermals top and bottom and its made a huge difference. Even on the warmer days which is anything over 10 degrees at the moment, I'll start sweating but won't take them off. Next phase is to move to queensland

Yeah,I'm 65 & have had a few "bad backs" in the past usually related to heavy lifting etc.But this latest ache seems to get worse if I sit too long.It might be from when I got a screw(no not that kind)in the tyre & fitting the spare wheel back on.But even a slight change of temp.does seem to make a diff.'cause up here we haven't had any cool weather at all.Today blue sky hot!

but if there is will there will always be a way to have a drink

Yeah the old drinking hand,I've got one of those too.I've had all 4 limbs in plaster earlier in life but just one wrist break wasn't set properly & I'm getting more grating from that as I age.I s'pose like they say "life isn't made to be easy!"While I'm on the whinge I'm just getting over the flu which came on after a bad hang-over.A lot of people have given up the booze but I'm finding it hard to do that.

If i have to stop riding bikes, playing footy, basically any physical activity, eating sugar yet still battle the pain at work 5 to 7 days a week, theres no chance in hell I'm giving up drinking!
