    Re Back pain:
    I use a tense (electrical pulse) machine with electrical pads to place on my joints and lower back. The Tense machine is very cheap from your local pharmacy or drug stores.

    Make your own temporary Tense machine out of a 12volt car battery charger and two 6" stainless steel pipes/tube as handles.

    Make sure you wrap a wet cloth around the stainless steel handles to stop any small arc burns. Put a resistor in line if you have concerns about over current. You won't have any problem with over current unless your body water is very very acid. The electrical signal will vibrate your lower back muscles and get the good energy flowing in the muscles...

    Don't laugh it works for lower back pain....

    That sucks, but is really serious, i had disabling back pain before. At least my condition was temporary. Hope there is a good solution without them having to cut.
    These doctor of today don't feel for you just there pockets.

    Well i have developed a knee problem where it feels like lightning going thru it if i crouch and get up.
    Wicked bad pain.
    Whatever

    Yes terrible place to work... Making 2-3 times above the average money an only working 6 months of the year (in OZ).... A normal working week for a coal miner is seven days on and then seven days off with full pay. ~$2000(aud) for the week + fuel and travel, and/or single man accomodation allowances.

    Coal miners have to have six months off to complain to the unions about getting more money.
    They have to get more money to pay for their 4th or 5th investment properties/housing estates.

    My accountant calls Coal Miners "CUB's, Cashed Up Bogans." The acronym fits. I know some
    of them couldn't even read and write.

    Half of the extended family(on the wifes side) is in the Energy or Coal industry.

    Do I feel sorry for Coal Miners....? NOOOOOOOOOOOT!.....

    Take care of your back fellas, a collapsed disk could ruin your life.
    We lost a tech earlier this year with permanent spinal damage, he's just 40 and will never work again. He was moving a large copier when a caster jammed and the copier twisted sideways and he's back didn't.
    Two operations later and he is still in a lot of pain. He can't sit, stand or walk and can only lie down. He got a pay out from the workers compensation scheme which wasn't much but fortunately had salary protection insurance as well.
    He's not going to starve to death but will spend the rest of his life lying down watching TV all day and every day.
