Update on the back situation: I've been in a LOT of back pain lately, despite seeing the Chiropractor 2 weeks ago. Seriously, I'm too young to have back problems. But this is what I've gathered from talking with the Dr. so far:- Rolling an SUV off the side of an embankment & flipping twice is not good for your back.
- Neither is taking a wipe-out on waterskiis and putting yourself in a back brace. Oops.
- Once your back is feeling better, it's not a good idea to carry 45+ lbs. on your back while hiking the smokey mountains. Oops again.
- My range of motion in turning my head is awful. So I need to get it fixed or I'll be one of those old people who can't turn their head to see what's beside them.
- I have a low skull. (Z thinks that's funny for some reason) He can't get to my top vertebrae to adjust it. Surprisingly, I don't have a short neck (go ahead.. look at past posts and check ;) ).
- The Dr. told me the last time he adjusted me could have just made it worse. Wonderful.
- It's a bad sign that I have to crack my back hourly just to relieve pressure.
On another note, the running has been going well. It's blistering hot & humid, so
I've been waiting til right before dusk to go. But I'm having the same problem I did in HS cross country- my feet are starting to blister. I'm looking at buying new running shoes. Any suggestions? Or other ways to keep your feet a little less painful?? Yesterday Z and I got up at 5:30 to Shred before work.. Oy! Jillian and I do NOT get along first thing in the morning!I have an OBGYN appt. on Monday. SO not looking forward to it. That's all.

Get some Wright Socks!! Seriously they are amazing. I just googled them to find a dealer selling them. It's physically impossible to get blisters with them on.
And I hope your back gets better soon. That sounds kinda miserable!
ha OBGYN apts, wonderful... I heart those.
Which reminds me, I keep putting off mine until we move so I can find a new lady-parts doctor.
Goodluck on monday, and I hope your back feels better soon!
Going to a massage therapist regularly and BEFORE an adjustment helps too.
Oh no! I'm sorry you are having back problems and I hope the appointment goes well
oh no, I hope your back feels better soon. I used to get spasams - I know what you're going through! OBGYN appointments are not fun...good luck!
soooo sorry about your back! that is no good. wish i could offer up some great advice but i have none. :(
as for the gyno, tell me about it.
here is the other rug. i know. a hand? well, we saw it in the store and the couch was covering it and you could not tell it was a hand and it looked fabulous. http://www.westelm.com/online/store/ProductDisplay?partNumber=WE-PRODr664&storeId=17001&langId=-1&catalogId=17002&viewSetCode=E&parentId=WE-SH1RUGRUG&retainNav=true&cmsrc=WE-SH1RUGRUG
and how long have you been shredding? i need to get back on the train!
I've had back problems for years. I love to take Epsom Salt bath to help relax and ease some of the tension/pain.
Sorry about your back. I don't really have back problems but I have knee and ankle joint issues, I know what it feels like to wish you could just feel your age. I feel like an old woman quite often.
wow so much going on with you! i hope your back starts feeling better. my back is sore due to pregnancy. lovely. hang in there!
Owwww! That does not sound fun at all. I hope you doctor's appointment goes well!
I'm 24 and have an old person back too. I have a herniated disc. You just have to learn to adapt. Don't lift heavy things if there is someone around to help. I sleep with pillows under my legs a few nights a week. I'm also not allowed to run or do anything that'll cause impact. It sucks but you can work around it. So sorry!
hoping your back gets better soon!!

i have a horrible lower back. gymnastics wasnt for me. anyway, i just got some puma's that i LOVE i had shocks but they screwed my back up even more running but i loved the nike+ option so i wore them anyway. bad choice. But yes, my pumas are the colls i think (they are featured in a previous post) but i love them, and they ahve a "built in sock" and i usually get horrible blisters if i run w/o socks but with these i can and it's not a problem at all. i got them a the woman's journeys place called shii.
oh and have fun at the OBGYN i am avoiding that like the plauge.
