Can anyone recommend a decent chiropractor or osteopath anywhere from say Gibraltar to Marbella? Thanks Justin _______________________ Spam post? If so please click here to report it

I wish I could recommend someone to you, although maybe a few Ibuprofen mgs will help!! Wish you better! _______________________ www.duquesavillage.net www.KeyDubai.com Spam post?

Anti inflamatories, they are very good. This knowledge from me, a long suffering arthritis fan!......... _______________________ FibbyUK http://www.payingtaxesinspain.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk Spam post?

Nothing better than being kicked into gear by a decent dose of anti-inflamatories! Take about 1200mg (two x 600mg) of Brufen (Ibruprofen) and it will do the trick. Unless, of course, you've actually done something really drastic!! Then you need to see a doctor!!! _______________________ www.duquesavillage.net www.KeyDubai.com Spam post?

Cocodamol is fantastic - if it doesn't touch it get yourself to the quack for codeine tablets & paracetamol (codeine tablets sent me a bit strange though - more so than usual anyway - so had to stop them) Also anti inflammatory tablets. Back & stretching exercises also but find someone who knows what they are talking about otherwise you could make it worse. The good news is it does get better but only after you've walked around like an old crone for a while! Big tip as well that works a treat - warmth. I've got a plug in heated pillow type thing from Boots that is worth it's weight in gold. Failing that try a hot water bottle. Spam post? If so please click here to report it

The codeine component converts to morphine once in your system which is why it makes some people a little 'high'. If you dont fancy that then Ibuprofen 400mg and Paracetamol 1g 4x per day will do the trick. You can take them both at the same time with no probs. Can't recommend a professional I'm afraid, not unless you are in Sussex any time soon!! Hope you feel better soon. _______________________ *Jan* *www.apartment-on-costadelsol.co.uk* Spam post?

I met with Smiley for coffee today and he suggested a Chirpractor that he uses. So I'll give him a try and see what happens. Thanks Justin _______________________ Spam post?

I had a prolapsed disk a few years ago, and the best pain relief I used to get was from the osteopath. It was great for relieving the tension, and I found it more effective than my chiropractor and physiotherapist. _______________________ Compleo Boulicoat S.L. - Your personal IT department www.compleo.es Spam post?

Had periodically needed all sorts of gear to get me through back problems and I cannot recommend him enough - I can actually sleep in a bed now as opposed to on the floor ...and turn my neck to reverse the car as opposed to using the rear view mirror. Anti inflammatories (I think thats mis-spelt but cant be bothered to check its too late) are all well and good but they have some severe side effects and if one can find an alternative I reckon it has to be better - treat the cause not the symptom. _______________________ *Smiley* - patrick@marbellamortgages.com www.marbellamortgages.com *Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit .....but any form of wit is an achievement* NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE GOT, IF YOU HAVE NOBODY TO SHARE IT WITH, THEN ITS JUST NUMBERS IN THE BANK.
