What's the deal with the back issue and not running or skipping? I remember back problems but can't find (since I looked SO HARD) where it started hurting again or becoming a problem.
Ya you don't wanna phuck with the back.. how did skipping feel today on it?
Does the doc tell you specifically pinpoint problems saying "if you dont stop *this* you will hurt *that* permanently..." etc. Other than "stop b/c I say so"...
Oh it has always been a problem, just becomes more of an issue when I drive long distances, pick up heavy things, shovel the snow, vacuum, wash the floor, sleeping at night, or do things the wrong way. LOL
My family doctor thinks it is anglo spongolitis (spelling) type of arthitis in your back. They found something on my lower spine and SI joints during a bone scan. However, the arthritis specialist wants to make sure because the scan didn't specifically say that is what it was, so he is sending me for another MRI however this time on my lower back.
He said the running and skipping are pounding on my back or somehting like that and it probably isn't a good idea until they find out specifically what it is.
I don't know if the skipping did anything, it was sore before, it usually gets worse in the evening so I guess we will see. I am going to keep on skipping cause other than that I don't know what other cardio to do at home, I guess I could get my old aerobics tapes out again LOL.
However I am going to really make sure I do my lunges and squats accuratley. Treil made a post about travelling lunges and that is actually when my back started hurting again, was right after I had done some and at the time I was taking really small steps and leaning forward. (girls were in the basement with me trying to copy so I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing) LOL
