Faithful Companions

Aches and pains, my back they rend Day and night without end To these I painstakingly attend Faithful companions Would that they mend!

Hello Gershon … dunno about friend, but certainly faithful and seems to join us as we begin to age - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

Personally, I'd settle for less faith and more friendship on their part! lol. Thanks, Lindsay.

Gershon, It pains me to read this poem of these two companions. FWIW I suffer them too. Lower back pain is often caused by inflammation of the tiny piriformis muscle. This muscle presses on the sciatic nerve. Turmeric, aloe vera, or better still St. John's Wort all work for neuropathic pain. -Richard

perhaps they are faithful but certainly not friends... not of mine anyway... I have those same pains, it seems they like to hang around... hugs

You know, I agree with you more and more every time I look at this poem, so I've now changed it, though the original title still works. THANK YOU! :) gw
