 Topic: Sore Back
Posted: 01 April 2007 at 5:57pm |

Anyone got any good ideas to help with a sore back. I think I have put mine out (i'm seeing the dr tomorrow for Josh's jabs so i'm going to talk to him about it). I can't lift Andrew up or can I lift Josh in his car seat. When I do hold Josh (while standing) I feel like i'm going to drop him with the pain in my back. I struggled to hang to washing out today, and I am dreading having to stand and do the dishes this evening ( I would ask DH to do them but he has done so much today (digging holes for our deck) and he is buggered). Would ACC cover a sore back if it was a result of lifting children??

Yes, ACC should cover that Becks. Maybe you should go and see an Osteo if it is that bad, sounds very sore! Maybe in the meantime put a wheatbag on it, or use some antiflamme if you have some. I hope that it gets better soon.

Yup ACC would cover it, it takes an "external force" to get ACC to cover stuff like that

Just make sure you pinpoint it to something specific for ACC - you need to write a quite specific event - such as lifted x to change nappy, back pain began after that. Then you can basically choose what you want - physio or chiro. Physio is probably cheaper than chiro with the acc assitance, though you do need to pay some sort of top up fee.

I think it happened from lifting his bath from the bathroom to the lounge (a matter of 2 metres) with DH - I didn't even lift it by myself.
