[Mantaone]

Any one has purchase off the shelf lumbar support for your ride

 

Any recommendation

 

Cushion dont work for me.

 

Thanks

[RadX]

Try one of the physiotherapy shops. They shld sell such stuff.

 

Alternatively, the closest you can get is the pharmacies, etc, like NTUC, Guardian

[Bcyn]

whats that?

[Mantaone]

Thanks

[RadX]

it is a sorta cushion to preserve the natural s-shaped curvature of your back...esp in ppl who suffer from back problems

[Bcyn]

oh okok...

i think i saw those b4 at carrefour plaza singapura

[Ace_t]

believe it that some cars have this built into their cars ?

 

while other makes have those dials that can arch the sitting position in the car.

 

same principal IMHO...

[Mantaone]

Some cars have built in inside the seat my ride dont have

Me old man back ache problem

[Ace_t]

as Radx mentioned, they do sell it at the local pharmacies.

 

try putting cushion on the seat (bum) area when driving. that should help stressing the lower back muscles.

[Soya]

many cars hv this lumbar support feature but many of them are not well designed i.e inadequate ergonomic support.

[Ahliew]

yeah a cushion on the bum works well for me

[Kurty]

getting old, body start to show signs..

 

any good recommendation for lumbar and neck/shoulder support?

 

I'm using seahorse memory pillow for now, not the best but for that price, can't complain much.

This is my 4th pillow from them.

 

as for lumbar support,

I spend like 3 hrs on road daily..

for now, only using those soft pillow, place at the lumbar.

 

based on Radx recommendation, anyone tried backjoy?

 

my right shoulder is killing me.

I have also developed shoulder twitching, nearly a year.

 

Went to see doctors, only given painkillers

went to see TCM, massages helps but only a short period.

I use backjoy in the office.

 

It stops me slouching in my seat

 

and helps me sit up straight.

 

It also helps tighten the stomach

 

so I guess it helps with better posture.

 

Buy online its half price at around $35.

 

  

[Jamesc]

The other thing that might help is

 

memory foam cushions. If I have to take

 

a long flight I always use that and never

 

get bum pain or discomfort from sitting too

 

long. I like memory foam so much I have

 

it as insoles in my shoes and as a topper

 

on the bed.

I never use pillows so I am not sure but I really like the topper.

 

Its a very thin topper only like 2 inch but I get a bit of the sunken

 

in feeling. I also think different brands got different quality and

 

very different prices. Try the Tempur in shopping centres, very

 

ex but to me very nice.

 

I think they should use memory foam as padding in car seats.

 

The best thing for back ache is exercise. My 70+ year old mother

 

I took her for long walks and she said she had the best sleep, increase

 

her appetite, lost weight and all her aches and pain were gone.

Yes, most cars lumbar support not that great.

And such pillow may help to provide a better posture - less pain.

 

Good to do stretching too regularly.

 

Btw: Perhaps good to consult your Dr again. May need to do simple X ray of cervical spine or referred to ortho surgeon for MRI. 

Generally, for persistent symptoms not better with medication/TCM, may be prudent to exclude degenerative /wear and tear of your cervical spine bone  or/and possiblity of nerve impingement.

 

 

Take care bro!

Sorry to ask, what is a topper?

 

you use that for sleeping?

 

actually I don't have backache but I got shoulder ache..

any remedy?

 

I admit, I put on some weight after marriage.

I tried to cut carbo and buffets, yet still makes me overweight.

Exercise, also rare ever since I had a torn ACL.

 

Definitely not healthy.

 

Saw Qoo10 selling backjoy for $38 with delivery, order 1 already

thank you.

 

Well, long story cut short.

 

I had a back injury during my NS time and for the rest of my life, our dear ARMY is paying for my medication bills.

I have degenerative, slightly slipped disc but this has been fine and well accepted by my body.

I had a torn ACL on my right knee during 2 years back during a soccer game, and was told to go for op which I declined.

 

I don't take painkiller unless necessary.

 

I believe in living with the pain and find ways to overcome it.

so far, everything is fine.

 

The only pain comes from the right shoulder and occasionally, neck..
