My back is getting better.

Hello everyone, how are you going?
I'm doing well. I haven't written an article for such a long time, that was simply because I was slack, that's it(^^;) I knew in mind that I should keep an English diary to improve my English but I was kind of busy blogging the other blogs and I had a bad cold in July and since then my backache had become worse. But fortunately my back is getting better!(finally!) I've tried everything I could think of to fix my back and some of them worked a bit but none of them fixed my back completely.

My backache comes and goes. I've been having this backache for about 2 years so I could say that I have a chronic problem(×one). Shoulder stiffness and backache are very common among people living in the stressful modern society. They are so common that some people say that you have to take them and live with them because there is no cure for them. Of course there ARE some things(×stuff) for them but they are just temporary pain relief and nothing more than that. What I'm talking about is a fundamentally(×fundametal) complete cure. I wonder if there is a real cure for them.

One of the things I've tried is reading a book. Yes, just reading a book. I came across this book' healing back pain' on someone's blog. I got interested in it so I read the reviews on Amazon(×Amason). Most of them were in favour of the book so I bought one. The book is about that a backache is coming from your mind, and the reason why your mind does that kind of thing is that it is trying to not get you realise your anger and stress. Your mind doesn't want you to notice that you are feeling stressed about something so create pain in your back to distract your attention. His method to fix a backache was that when you have a pain, you shouldn't think about it, if you think, you get trapped and that's exactly what your brain want. You just don't give into the pain because your mind (brain) is just tricking you. You simply think about what kind thing is bothering you in your life now and recognise it and if possible, try to solve it. Just thinking like I WONT LET YOU TRICK ME, MY BRAIN! works pretty well.It gave me a little bit of wow, to be honest. After I read the book, I actually felt that my pain was easing a lot. But as you can guess very easily, it came back later on(^^;)

What I have been doing right now, and I really feel the difference (of course for the better) is having a foot bath. I've been doing it for about a week now, and I can definitely say that my back is getting better, less pain!! The Benefit of foot bath is as you know to warm your body up, which means it makes your blood circulation better. I never thought that my blood circulation was poor because I rarely felt that my hands and feet were cold! But I think I was wrong. My body must have been cold! ! My mum's therapist says that keeping your body warm is really important, coldness causes a lot of harmful symptoms. Now I can understand what he means. It is just having a foot bath for 20 to 30 minutes a day ( I do it at night right before I have a shower and straight go to bed. I think that's the best!) and you can do it while you're watching TV and surfing the Internet. And my way( and I will let you know later) is very easy and economical! I really love having a foot bath!
I recommend it to anyone.


Well, I got a little too excited about foot bath so I need to calm myself down.


I think that one of the biggest problems about having a back pain, especially if it's chronic, is not the actual pain but having a bad feeling of despair, which means that you don't know if your backache is ever going to be get better and fixed or not. Of course you hate the pain because it's sore! I myself have gone through a really tough time! You try everything to get rid of it but none of them gives you exactly what you want. Then you feel that you might have to spend the rest of your life having this backache. Just thinking like that makes you feel stressed and worsen the pain. You even feel depressed if your pain is really bad and serious. This kind of emotion exists in minds of patients who have got a mental illness, such as a depression and some kind of mental disorder. I myself experienced a panic disorder a few years ago. So I know I'm right about it. Everybody needs a hope for the future to live or let's say, to make efforts to live. Luckily I found a hope and a way to get better. I never gave it up and stuck to what I was doing and finally I got over it. Now I feel a hope for my backache too, which makes me feel really happy and gives me the drive to live my life! I feel I've started to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you for reading!
