One thing I really admire about you is how you are always striving to become a better person.danlo wrote:I feel very confused. I thought about putting this post in The Inner Garden and going off on a long discourse that would drive the moderators crazy and no one would pay attention to anyway.I guess my horoscope was right= you are heading into uncharted territory where even friends, teachers and guides can't help you.. .

I can empathise with the back pain.Loremaster wrote:My back is in a lot of pain. Can't sleep much.
I hope it lets up soon!
I currently have the same problem except its my back and shoulder.

I have to open tommorrow for the first time, so I'm feeling pre-tired. : ]
On the other hand, I get the whole afternoon off tomorrow, so that's nice.

tell ya what: when I started doing back strengthening exercises it changed my life considerably! I used to get chronic back (lower back) and shoulder pain. Strengthening stomach muscles and also doing some light weights (only 2kg ones) seems to have fixed that. The pain flares up once in a while still but it's no longer a day-to-day thing.

If I may ask, was it due to injury? I'd be curious to see which exercises you have been doing, especially for the shoulder and lower back. The physio I have been seeing keeps going on about pilates but I'm not one for the subtle little exercises she keeps suggesting.Seareach wrote:tell ya what: when I started doing back strengthening exercises it changed my life considerably!

Well, the shoulder was due to prolonged incorrect posture while using the computer. I sat in a crap chair and always used to have my left foot on an open draw. tut tut. My first rib now pushes outwards (towards my front into my clavicle). Really, I need an operation.Chrysalis wrote:If I may ask, was it due to injury?

The back problems are a product of three things: bulging disc due to my years working in a timber yard (and not lifting properly) and then a fall I had on a set of stairs (I slipped down and landed on my butt). And...um...the final "product" has to do with the size of my chest relative to the rest of my body (WACKO!
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
I can email you details...but it's pretty straight forward: crunches and a few other exercises for abdominals (but any floor exercise I do I do on a padded surface--I use a thin mattress. If I don't and do it on a hard surface it really stuffs up my back). Then the weights are things like bicep curls and the like. Nothing too full on. I only use a 2kg hand weight. Only 20 reps (although I think at the start I was only doing reps of 5 because I had little strength in my arms). I've found that you start small and work your way up.
I have a friend who swears yoga is the way to go. He had similar back problems and yoga was the answer for him.

Edit: Oh, and how do I feel today. God almighty! Pardon the language but I am JUST SO OVER this stupid girl who is a friend of one of my friends, who is a single mum and only 24...but who is a RIGHT ROYAL PAIN IN THE BUTT! She has called me over 10 times today!!! I want her to LEAVE ME ALONE! Tonight she rang me to ask me if I could ring our mutual friend and ask that mutual friend to ring her? Are you confused yet? I AM! WHY IS SHE RINGING ME!!! WHY CAN'T SHE RING OUR MUTUAL FRIEND HERSELF!?!? IF SHE CAN RING ME SHE CAN RING... <sigh> blooooddddyyyy hhhhhhhheeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll! I'm OVER it! Can you tell!

I agree - I need to feel like I am actually doing soemthing! Give me a punch bag any day over a yoga class. Which I can’t do now anyways thanks to the shoulder. *grumbles about stupid accidents*Seareach wrote: I have a friend who swears yoga is the way to go.

I also know how the chest department proportions can affect things – gotta love being female sometimes

If its not too much trouble I’d love to get more details on the exercises – I find it better to get tried and tested ones.
As for the friend – just ignore the phone for now – maybe she will get the message
How do I feel today? – not bad considering. I’m only working a half day so that makes all the difference. The b/f on the other had is running a fever and feels like death warmed up and has lost his voice so I’m trying to find ways to make him feel better.

It's Thursday. Just gotta make it through another day and a half at work and then it's gonna be boogie boarding for me this weekend. I know, I know I really need to get those shelves up and start organizing my books in the new place but hey, it's gonna be 76 degrees out. The ocean is calling me. ![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
