Guest guest Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Hang in there Indyrose! My update on my sciatica is fantastic! I haven't seen the chiro in 9 days.... I can't imaging going thee times a week when less than once a week is doing the trick. I go this morning. If she tries to talk me into coming more often I think I will walk out! D  My chiropractor stretched out my leg about as far as it would go, and then stretched it more by pulling my foot down...Youch!! I have DOMS in my leg and butt from that, but the pain as eased considerably! He told me to stay " active " but not to exert myself yet. He said I should be able to resume workouts in about 2 more weeks. He said the Komen walk next weeks shouldn't be a problem as long as I wasn't planning to run it -- which I wasn't. I just hope I can stand being " down " another two weeks... Indyrose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 The way I see it, from plenty of experiences being "down" is you don't have a choice unless you want to deal with more pain and even less working out. (been there, done that, spent more time on the couch because of it and decided to quit griping then next time it came around and create workout rotations on the computer for as soon as I'd be able to get to them instead) Another Chiro session My chiropractor stretched out my leg about as far as it would go, and then stretched it more by pulling my foot down...Youch!!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Hi Indy, I know it is hard to be "down" but go w/ your chiro's recommendation - it will save you healing time in the long run, and, honestly, as long as you are reasonably active you will not lose any real ground!Donna To: exercisevideos Sent: Fri, April 8, 2011 11:26:47 AMSubject: Another Chiro session My chiropractor stretched out my leg about as far as it would go, and then stretched it more by pulling my foot down...Youch!!
