Bloodied, but unbound

I haven't really looked into options, it is just something I have accepted I will have to live with.

Just keep my core strength levels up and keep the scale reasonable, and I can deal with it.

When my back goes it is quite a bit of pain for at least 1 week. and if it is bad up to 3 weeks.

Fair enough.

When you back flairs up, you should use Biofreeze. That stuff is increadible. It's a topical pain killer. I have a type of arthritis in my left should. Even though the source of the pain is very deep, Biofreeze still kills the pain.

The pain killing portion is pretty much just menthol. What makes this stuff so great is that it's able to transport the pain killer so deep into the tissue.

You can get it here (biofreeze.com).

Been told by my chiro that my lower back degeneration is simalar to that of a 50+ year old.

Yeah no pain medication seems to help. As it is more nerve inpingments. I will try that though, see if it may help.

try finding an ART specialist. They can help with nerve impingment.

My mother broke her hip and she said that it really helped with the pain.

If the impingment was caused by a change in bone structure, couldn't they just go in and shave the bone back a bit?

**IainDaniel** · 01-08-2007, 10:10 AM

I don't have much to shave LOL

My L5 has deteriorated like 50%

DOMS · 01-10-2007, 11:27 AM

My back is now at 95%. I can bend over and touch my toes again.

On a positive note: Two of my clients (mid-20s woman) both thought that I was 25. Yeah for good genes and a healthy life style.

Sadly, neither of them showed me their boobs.

Then she smiled, got into the car, and drove away."

It speaks to me on so many levels.

Well, my back still isn't 100%. This is so frustrating. It seems to be stuck around 90% or so. So I'll see if I can help it along with a stretching program.

My plan is to stretch every day. Either in the morning or (when I've started working out again) after my workouts. Since I'm just starting, I'll stick with static stretching for now and include PNF stretching after I've hit my first goals. Which are:

Place my palms on the floor, bending only at the waist, knees locked.
Hook my hands behind my back, one over, one under, in both directions.
Lay back flat from the knees.

I've created a program that includes 15 different stretches. Each will be done for 4 reps with a 20 second hold. For the most part, I'll start with the neck, work down to the shoulders, then down the arms all the way to the fingers. Then I'll go to the torso and work my way down to the ankles.

I'll do some light calisthenics before the stretching workouts that don't take place after weight training.

KW: stretching, injury
