Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Thank you , I hope you are right. I think in all of my years working out, this is the first time that I wil be totally out. I had that sore ankle for awhile, but at least then I could modify and do upper body and light cardio. W/ my back I'm totally out. Maybe after a few days or a week, I can add in some light upper... grr.. Only time will tell now, I suppose.

OMG darcy. i am so sorry to hear that your body is now yelling at you for attention. it seems to have decided not to give you the choice to rest or not. please give recovery longer than you think is necessary so that the injury does not reoccur. i know that this is hard for you, but i think that pampering is in order. time for bubble baths and massage and stretching. take care, :*carolyn.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 What did you do to your back? Did you pull a muscle? If you pulled a muscle try some heat or have your husband rub on some icy hot. Hope you feel better soon, Jen --- Darcy Ledman <exercise.junkie@...> wrote: > Thank you , I hope you are right.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 do you have stretching exercises you can do? Carolyn has a good point, you can work on your nutritional health and if there are some safe, healing stretches you can do you'll at least be able to move.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Gee Darcy, I was hoping you'd get better. So sorry to hear it's worse. take it easy, Kerry Darcy wrote: Well, I am at the point now, if I've been sitting for a few minutes, it hurts to move or walk..grr..

I should have taken it even lighter when it started feeling funny... I am off to find hubby's back brace. I still plan on getting up early so I don't get out of the habit of that. Not AS early, but early... Have great workouts today, be happy you are able to do so!!Darcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Oh Darcy, I'm so sorry to hear you are feeling this bad. STRETCH!!! That's what they'd tell you in physical therapy, and I know you know how to do all the stretches they'd give you. Tonya Down and out..
