Back hurting or healing while trucking?

From what I understand I drive the lowest of the low - a Columbia class FREIGHTLINER.

In another life I was a concrete finisher. In construction it is heave ho all day long. Think of someone one standing on a production line except outside in the weather on broken ground. Most back injuries are caused because of the lack of skeletal muscle tone through the bodies core muscle structure - the stomach muscles hold the back together.

 

true be honest.i quit automotive factory job and start truck driving as i was constantly complaning about back pain and pain under foot heals.Both problems are gone now.only problem is pain under left testicles may be due to back problem but since i took vitamin b12 and calcium mangesium with zinc tablets twice daily and been away from wife from few days while doing truck driving all my problems are gone.iam feeling way better now.

 

use Olive Oil, taken in the diet such as salad dressing + use ice with some heat and sleep on a flat wood surface with minimal padding, go barefoot as often as can do such as jogging barefoot as contemporary shoes are actually the cause of most back problems....

I have been doing this for decades and no longer suffer .....

 

i want to get into trucking after losing my welding job of 15 years.my back pain has been a concern for me as i blew out a couple discs a few years ago.i figure its got to be better than working with heavy steel, all the bending and stooping and the contorted posistions that a welder has to be able to do.im 50 years old and im just burned out on all that and my body is as well.i just dont know what sitting for 11 hrs a day will be like for me.i guess there is only one way to find out right? lol any thoughts1?

 

He is suggesting when we have time off.when i start my trucking couple of weeks before after quitting my fatory job when i sleep on sleeper when truck was viberating my lower back and neck was feeling comfortable.It looks to me as if it is same as my physio was giving me viberating muscle releving treatment.In a factory i work on automotive line and have to pick up 40-50 lbs parts X 600 pcs ==2400 lbs everyday.So if i have to struggle in this job in begnning i will still be ok from these heavy lifting back discomforts.

 

One detail that you're overlooking.... while you're "sitting" you have your arms stretched out in front of you to some degree; and at least one leg. Not the "classic sit" posture.

 

some people might also be mistaking back pain for spastic colon.

Especially if you "think" you have back spasms.
