Back Attack!!!!

[dhbearguy]

Yesterday when I was doing some dishes, my lower back started to ache as it usually does. I don't think anything of it because it does that all the time.
I walked to Safeway to get some blank CD's Since I was out. Even though it is a very small incline, my back does not like it. But I made it up and back with no serious problems.

Went dancing at Sundance. About 8:15or so my back started to ache again. It usually is not a problem at Sundance, so I left about 8:45. As I was walking up my street, I got a major cramp. Got over it and got home and just crashed.

When I woke up, I seemed fairly fine, but then after my shower, my back started to hurt majorly. Sharp stabbing pain in my lower back. I waddled to Muni, and to my chiropractor. He gave me a good adjustment and said I should be better in a couple of days. To see him again on Wednesday. Ice on my back every 2 hours.

So no heavy lifting for me today. Hope it gets better as the day progresses.

You should check with your Chiropractor and find out why it's happening so much. That seems to be pretty often that your back is going out. Is it just that you need to go in for more regular adjustments?

I need to lose weight and exercise my back muscles. He keeps telling me that and I keep not doing it.

Bad back=Horrible Days

Ouch.. I know just how you feel. Hope you feel normal soon.

I too heard that from my doctor and chiropractor every damn visit. Until recently I just blew it off.

For the past month and a half I've been doing the gym thing and cardio thing very regularly and I haven't felt this good since high school. I'm now a believer in those things called exercise and sensible eating. I wish I would have listened sooner.

Thanks for the reply and info. I was actually going to go to the gym today. Wed is my next target date. And avoiding the snack machine. I have done well today. A nice sandwich for lunch and water to drink all day. I gotta be serious.
