started drinking.......( gave up last september ) got pain in back, side and leg / laying 3ft x 2ft paving slabs on one`s own, and pain killers aint helping much,
I reckon I must be guilty of some things but I aint driven anyone to drink before
not that I'm aware of.
Oo ouch! Mic, pain in side and leg?
Perhaps you strained your sciatic nerve? I know how that feels I damaged mine about 14 yrs ago, it's not as bad as it used to be tho.
Keep moving is the best thing, not heavy physical stuff just gentle exercise to stop you from seizing up altogether. I hope the pain goes soon.
