Back Ache Over

I am going to officially declare my back ache over. And I have no idea what made it better. It might be the medicine, but if so, it is completely unexpected. During the 7 days or so that I took the pills, I felt absolutely no relief from the back pain. I can't say it was the physical therapy, since I only went that first day. I won't say I am 100% better, but then again I've probably not had a 100% pain-free back since I was in my 20's. Anyway, I don't miss the muscle spasms.

If flying in the narrow economy class seat with no knee room happens to have caused my back pain in the first place, then I'm due for more trouble when I return soon to the USA for Young Stumblers #1 and #2 graduations.

Have you thought about wearing a SACROILIAC BELT around your pelvis? What it does is that by providing the correct balance of resistance and resilience, the sacroiliac belt re-establishes the joint’s normal motion, thus relieves stress and instability at these weight bearing structures. The price of SI belts are in reasonable range these days, average cost is about $40 USD. I know a lot of people who wear SI belts, and I've read some astonishing testimonials about it.

There are many si belts out there, but Serola SI Belt seems to be the best one as far as quality, comfort, and price are considered. Check out their website for more: http://www.serola.net/product_new_sac_belt.php

Hope it helps, good luck to you!

Hi

I am a publisher of THE EAST; the only English newspaper, which is mainly focused on the East Asian information (at the beginning of every month, more than 12,000 free copies are distributed throughout the London area, particularly, where East Asian Networks are established).

I looked at your blog the other day and have been wondering if there would be any chance that we could publish some of your interesting articles on the paper.
We think some of your blog articles should be very helpful to the Westners who are interested in Asian Culture.
The East cannot afford to pay for your articles right now (as we are non-profitable organisation). However, if you wish, we can still offer you:
1. Advertising space
2. Link to THE EAST web site blog section

We look forward to hearing from you shortly.

Many thanks and kind regards,
