Guest guest Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 hi everybody ! im quite far behind in messages but thought i would give an update since the last time i posted... - still in pain from pinched nerve in upper back (right side)... this affects my right shoulder, arm and fingers. taking naproxen and muscle relaxer which help a bit, i guess. sitting down, especially while using a computer, is the worst... laying down or moving around relieves the pain, for some reason. the meds are also helping my chronic sore neck... i can actually move my head around in all directions without pain! it has been a long time since ive been able to do that, even the physiotherapist was happy about that. goes to show that my problems are muscle related (vs joint or bone related), i suppose. it is too bad that my neck feels better but a different area is in pain. - havent done many workouts besides working in the deli and the butcher dept (some shifts in seafood coming up next week i think). i did take chinook to the dog park last tues and i walk around there quite a bit. unfortunately, i got my wrist caught in the gate which hurt alot and is now all bruised. i was babying my right side so i was holding the leash and working the gate both with my left hand... chinook pulled hard on the leash and the gate closed on my wrist... argh! i also did a short rebounding workout... urban rebounding: first timers... which is about 15 mins long and at a pleasantly slow bpm so a person can totally keep up to it. i really enjoyed this and rebounding seems to be something i can do that doesnt affect my injury(s). i really wish i could kickbox, but rebounding will do just fine, i think. i have alot of cool new rebounding workouts, thankyou to a special friend for those - i achieved a few high step counts this week (12 K) but my overall daily average dropped a bit to 8.5 K. oh well, i will get the counts back up there when i start to walk and workout again. i might be able to do another urban rebounding workout today, but really, im trying to rest and just do light housework. thats about it for now... :*carolyn.

Good hearing from you Carolyn. I was wondering how you were doing with your pinched nerve. Glad you can move your head around now without it hurting. You'd be proud of me....I think I reached a record for myself with my steps. I got in close to 20,000 on Friday. I worked out, walked the dogs, and then we spent all evening getting our fall garage sale ready. I was shocked when I looked at my fitbit. It said I went like 10 miles. I hope you get out of pain and feel good about your walking and workouts again. Sending good vibes your way. ~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hi Carolyn! Just wanted to send well wishes to you! I hope you feel better soon, and that your hot tub can offer some relief, too. {{{hugs}}} Also, sounds neat that you get to work in some different departments at work! I imagine it can be a nice change of pace for you. When I worked at the grocery store in high school I would hang out in other departments when it was slow, but didn't officially work in them, lol. My brother worked in produce, and I had friends in frozen/dairy and the meat dept. :-D Hugs to Chinook!
