I now realise that keeping active is the best treatment for my pain. Now I try and carry on as normal, and walk to University every day.

Patrick Carlin

Gabby Logan

"I have suffered from a bad back as a gymnast and when I was pregnant with my twins. I'd say the back pain was almost as bad as giving birth! At least when you give birth you get something lovely at the end.

"I now really take care of my back - the only time I want pain like that in my life again is when I give birth."

"Love your back because it really is fully behind everything you do!"

Dr Sally Venn

Time with patients is needed to address these concerns and to re-inforce the advice to stay active. I welcome the 'Welsh Backs' campaign which is making this advice more available to the public and reassuring back pain sufferers that staying active is definitely the right thing to do!
