ranval 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2007 another thing to note about platform bed.for those who are big size, (like me)or those who have knee problem (like me or like old folks)platform bed is not good, as when u try to get up from the bed, u are putting more stress on the knees, coz the level of the bed is too low liao.for young people, they dun feel the stress on the knees,but they are stressing their knees and they tends to wear out more lor.i am big size and my knees are suffering from early wear and tear, so that's why i didn't have platform bed and had bed frame and my bed level is 26" from grd. So dat i dun need to put stress on my knees to get up from bed.I more concern abt my back injuries , it's somemore the lower back near the T-bone area ... even now, i have problem gettin up without feeling strain or pain at that area ... my legs would have cramp or numbness feelings .. very scared to go back to see what's wrong .. coz the feelings come n go .. after gotten the injuries , i hardly do anything sports and din dare to exceise alone .. scared to strain my back again ...

eR1c 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2007 Yup, u should see the doc.at least u would know wat's wrong and can do something to prevent it from going worst.sometimes, it can be due to occupation or maybe due to sleeping, or maybe how u sit or stand.they may advise u to go for physiotheraphy to correct the problem.some pain maybe can be cured, but if wait too long, may become irreversible.since i know about my knees condition, i have been trying to prevent conditions which may worsen it.

Dont neglect it Yoga may help u to relax muscles but certain posture are not suitable for back prob ppl, so be careful when u are stretching. Also avoid going to those chinese phsy for back massage cos scare it may got worse. BEST is to see doc first, is alway better to be early than too LATE.
