Re: a touch of...............?

The best thing my hubby say's is to roll a ball on your buttock up and down on a wall bending your knees as you go. And the other thing is to take Ibuprofen if you can that should ease the pain.

Hope this helps

Julie, I believe it's only the 8mg/500mg strength cocodomol tablets that can be bought over the counter - I need the 30mg/500mg strength tablets and require a doctor's prescription for those.

Me too but anyone self diagnosing a back problem shouldn't really be using anything too strong as pain can be a symptom of other things and should really be seen by a doctor.
