I know many of you suffer back problems, myself included, however i am writing this concerning my son Scott.

Scott has an injury (an old injury) which unfortunately playing his beloved Cricket tends to flare it up, since being in England, his back is really bad right now, due to the fact he has not had treatment, because it is so expensive over there, he can get treated here for free.

My concern is his long flight home, he leaves on August 31st, and its going to be a tough time, as he is in constant pain, his pain is worrying as it has changed from a dull ache to sharp shooting pains.

I think he will buy some over the counter pain relief, but he has to be careful as he is asthmatic and also nurofen type medicenes can and do upset the stomach, not too good on a long flight.

Any suggestions for him to make the long flight home would be welcome, he does have two stop-overs, about six hrs in LA and two in Germany, so that will help I hope.

Thanks for listening.
