Dug this post out from the dark ages, it's that time of year again!!!
And again! the theme for this year '08 is a 'taste of the orient'
The theme for the fancy dress '07 is 'United states of America'
HELP!
(Please see below!)

Howdy all, We're off to a fancy dress party next week and we're really struggling this year!
It's an annual event and everyone goes all out with their costumes
The theme is classical movies, but the thing is you're supposed to go for a 'play on words' approach, so people have to guess what you are - gets everyone chatting!
So you can't just dress up in a white dress and do marylin in some like it hot - you have to be clever!
for example, last year the theme was australia, so a group of us went as a barbeque - dressed up as barbie dolls and stood in a line! there were plenty of ozzy osbournes too.
this year, a couple is going as lady and the tramp - and are dressing as exactly that - not the dogs, and someone else is going as thunderball, the james bond film, and are just going to be covered in lottery balls.
The best suggestion so far has been fred and ginger - dressing as fred flintstone/freddy flintoff and ginger spice, but I want a decent costume and D doesnt want to look like a twat! (not a twat by being flintoff -in case i offended any cricket fans!
We did want to go as a couple - bonnie and clyde, laurel and hardy etc, but we're struggling to even come up with something for that!
Been on to look up old movie titles - but cant think up a reallly clever costume for the both of us! help please!
**** so, updated for '08 is an oriental theme and we have had absolutely no clever ideas!
So we can't just go as a geisha girl or someone in oriental dress- Help!!
PS last year- being so disorganised we ended up as american footballer and cheerleader- not good!!
ta very much chucks!

serious imput from me from once.......but most back problems can be sorted by working on your core strenth........ie ur stomach muscles.......with this sort of injury the best way is to use certain exercises to build these muscles..........one of the best forms is pilates........and the other is yoga........if u can find a good instructor they will have it sorted in no time.......i'm not qualified to teach pilates but i am for yoga and i will shortly be instructing another member in it so if anyone else wants to join the class ur welcome (and before u ask i won't be in a leotard!)
definately!
well, not forgetting he does have an iacute injury, so yoga aint a magic cure at the moment, but core strengthening and posture work like you do in pilates and yoga will help reduce your risk of future injury or back pain- so once thigs have settled with gentle movement, and pain relief- get your leotard on boy!heheh

I suffer from a sciatic nerve in my lower back and whilst I can lift heavy objects no worries (I'm ard me) it does have a tendency to go at the slightest thing, so far to date i've put it out rolling over in bed, bending down to pick a cup of tea up off the garden wall and even just getting in the car. Get your self off down your GP and the'll sort you out. Mine ended up sending me for ultra sound sessions on my back. Basically I lie face down tehy smear me in gel stuff and run a ball like thing all over my lower back. Regular sessions of this do help but as I'm a typical male I either forget to go or can't be arsed (it's a stupid macho thing on my part) but when I have been it does help no end
ps ultra sound can be good, but not a lot of evidence for it, and some of the evidence that does exist ain't great - tends to suggest its a placebo effect (ie cos you think you're getting a treatment, it can help with reducing the thought of pain) if an effect at all!
and it really depends on the reason behind your back pain why you would get ultrasound.
with regards to sciatica, it tends to be short term effects for pain relief- but if you have poor posture and muscle weakness that is usually a major contributing factor to sciatic nerve irritation and wont be helped by lying down having gel stuck on ya every week!
best thing is exercise for long term - lots of core stability work and improving your posture espesh if you have a driving/desk/lifitng job!

Howdy, just thought i'd get my bit in too!
most of the advice has been pretty sound, gentle movements, and anti inflammatories are the best at the mo.
Although your doc said stay off work, you should aim to get back as soon as poss, as moving is the best therapy. (if you have a really active job then be sensible obviously!)
what did you actually do?
not so sure about the advice of alternate heat/cold - this tends to be good advice for more long term back pain.
With an acute injury, you would usually use ice and compression with some sort of tubi grip bandage to prevent inflammation, and also to 'block' pain (pain gate theory- your sensory receptors have a preference for hot and cold sensation rather than pain)
however, If you hit your back when you fell, then ice may help, but heat would do the complete opposite and cause more inflammation. backs don't really tend to 'swell' though so ice probably wont help either. Also, if it was a muscular injury (from a jerking or twisting type movement) then heat may help to relax any tension or spasm in your muscles, but then again, could cause more inflammation and then more pain.
So Ice and heat can be good, but with back injuries that tends to depend on the type of injury.
Good movements are lying on your back, knees bent (like you're about to do sit-ups) then gently dropping you knees out to one side towards the floor and then to the other.
Gently turning from right to left in sitting is good, as is curling up in a ball.
If you can, lie on your stomach and gently push up onto your elbows, lifting your head and chest up ( a yoga pose!)
massage can also be good, depending on the type of injury.
for sleeping at night, you could try on your front with a pillow under your stomach, but again, that depends on the type of injury, so just make sure you take some pain killers!
If you notice anything strange, like pins and needles/tingling in your buttocks, legs, or loss of sensations, increased pain, problems going to the loo, then you should go and get checked out again.
Sciatica is irritation of your sciatic nerve, and if you had this, you would notice other symptoms rather than just back pain!
if you let me know more details i can give you more advice (but its just advice - v difficult to give proper advice without examination!)

Hi Kaz and Andy
We are a new couple from Edinburgh and would definately want to go to that weekend at the pub with everyone, but we can't make either the 3rd or the 4th as we're away that weekend.
Please let us know how it goes and if there are any others arranged after that!
