David Cameron suffers 'phenomenally bad back'

Prime Minister David Cameron has told the BBC he is suffering from a "phenomenally bad back".

Mr Cameron said a scan had shown that he has a "protruding disc" which may require a painkilling injection.

In an interview recorded several days ago on the Scottish island of Jura, where the Cameron family has been on holiday, the prime minister said he was not sure what caused the problem.

But he said a doctor had told him his back was otherwise in "good nick".

The prime minister said he could have had an epidural injection last week but had said he was waiting to see if the pain eased naturally.

In a tweet Mr Cameron later revealed that he had received treatment for his back pain on Monday.

"I've been treated for a bad back/protruding disc at Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre today." he said. "The staff say all will be back to normal very soon."

I've heard that waterboarding is great for a bad back.

99 out of a hundred said it made them completely forget those little niggley aches.

Hope he dies

If it's anything like my slipped disc, he probably shares your hope.
