Tips For Dealing With A Bad Back
Back pain can be one of the most debilitating conditions to cope with. My own experience of back pain started after I had an epidural during a caesarean section, since then I have suffered with (thankfully) sporadic back pain that is made worse when I take long walks, or have to walk up a lot of stairs and steps.
