Helly have a great time, loved Hawaii but it was so long ago.   Have you tried lying on the floor on your stomach to ease your back, give it ago maybe it will take up to 15 mins but it aways helps if I encounter back pain. 
Title: Re: Arrived safe & sound

Have a great time Hally.  We have friends that are also there and today they rang and also sent us some pics.  It all looked lovely.

Thank u.

Great night last night. Slept well. Still in pain >:(

Will try the floor, will try anything.

Physio said its repetitive movement that has caused this. Dh thinks its the ipad so using left hand.

Today floating in tubes on waikiki beach.

6.48am, surfers up, looks great.

Love it here, especially the aroma in the air.

That's not good Hally, what a bummer to be on holiday in Paradise and not be able to join in the fun.  Are you going to see a doctor or someone?
Title: Re: Arrived safe & sound
Post by: obbie on October 09, 2012, 04:38:29 am
Try pain killers Hally, hope you have a good time.  :)
Title: Re: Arrived safe & sound
Post by: Halex on October 09, 2012, 06:34:31 am
YES ABSOLUTE BUMMER, THIS PAIN ON HOLS.

we seriously think ipad useage has caused this.

So everyone with ipads be careful.

I can sit in 1 position with no pain. But the rst hursts.

Hally your back will put a damper on your shopping, maybe you better hire a wheelchair  ;D ;D
Title: Re: Arrived safe & sound
Post by: judydawn on October 09, 2012, 09:33:12 am
Put the iPad away for the rest of the holiday Hally and see if that helps  ;)

I have suffered in the past with shoulder and neck pain and I'm sure it was because of the amount of time I spend on here more so than the lifting I do with DH.  I went to a physiotherapist and after 6 weeks treatment (and no slackening on the computer usage) which included neck & shoulder exercises on a daily basis at home, it cleared up.  The exercises only took a few minutes but it was really hard to find the time to do them  :-))

The hotel looks fantastic. Have you got a shirt like CP's?
I reckon that if you wore one of those, you could get away with driving a granny scooter.

Post by: Debbiebillg on October 17, 2012, 04:39:04 am
Hally,
Just a thought, I'd maybe look into whether you can claim anything on your travel insurance since it really has ruined your holiday ! You might need a doctor's letter or something official where it has been documented.  If you've seen a doctor there maybe ask for a report, in case you need it when you get back here ! It must be sooooo annoying, I really feel for you.

Hope it's better soon.

Title: Re: Arrived safe & sound

Did the physio say what caused it Hally?
Title: Re: Arrived safe & sound
Post by: Halex on October 22, 2012, 10:58:39 pm
My first initial problem was repetitive use.

Then what triggered major problem, I fell asleep propped up in bed & my head hang to the right side, ( we were watching tv in the hotel room) this caused the nerve to be well & truly trapped, this is a common probem especially on long haul flights too!!

So I am taped up & hoping to be pain free soon.

H :)
