    Bad back / Inversion table in RV

    I was out today and actually found a compact portable inversion table that fits in the fifth wheel. Couldn’t pass it up. An absolute Godsend after ripping out my back on a propane tank. It won’t fully invert, but declines some and slides to allow a bit of traction.

    For my old back and legs I'm constantly using heating pads when not standing.
    Sitting at kit table I've got heating pad under legs & back.
    In the car heating pad on the seat.
    In the truck, heated seats.
    And in bed heating pads under legs and back.

    Have you ever been in a store called Relax the Back? That's where I found that inversion table, and a lumbar backrest I've had for the last 10 years.

    Thanks for asking.
    What works best for me now is a TruContour Lumbar pillow and my heating pads.
    With that I can do most what I need to, just pit stops for heat

    Have tried several things over the years.
    2010 - Lower Lumbar Nerve Decompression Surgery - took several years to get rid it's effects.
    2008 - Ironman 4000 inversion table
    2007 - ComforTrac Lumbar Home Traction
    2004 - Leg troubles noticed.

    Back in the 2005 timeframe my back pain was horrible if I stayed on my feet for any length of time. As a flightline supervisor, it was incredibly tough walking the line. I frequently "took a knee" while talking with subordinates because I couldn't stand up any longer.

    To make a really long story short--it was my footwear! I deployed in 2006 and after a few weeks I realized that my back was feeling better. Why? Because I was wearing new desert camo boots. Ever since I make sure I buy quality shoes (and replace them frequently).

    I still use my inversion table, though. Love that stretch on the back. I don't think it will fit in the passthru storage, though.
