Hi Dew,

I don't know if you were responding to a note but thanks for the

information. For the past 4 years I have taken yoga twice week at my

gym. Maybe I overstretched something to cause my piriformis injury.

Because of that I had to skip my yoga past 2 weeks and probably

still this week. I stretch main muscles 3-4x week at gym. I am very

limber and can slap my hands on the floor without bending my legs.

My shoulder is constantly acting up so I don't stretch it. Gym class

was a long time ago since I am now 50.

She's got me beat, too. I can only touch my knuckles to the floor without

straining anything, but I'll try to do it next week.

don't ask for doing the splits, it's impossible for me. <G>

All of you are better off than me. I can't even get down to the top of my

feet.

And I'm not that fat either. My back won't let me. I'm going to try to see

my

Dr this afternoon. I have a lot of swelling in my left foot and leg. I

think

I'll ask him about an MRI or X-ray to my lower back. I'd like to know whats

going on with it. I can feel pressure in the spine.

I was never able to do that, either. In college, my worst grades were

in physical education, LOL. Sue
