Another curved ball 😐

[Instructor57]

Things had been going well !I was at the gym 2x a week for strength and Cardio ( also included a 30 minute treadmill run)

But I have hurt my back again .

I think this is the 3rd of 4th time now since my heart attack in February.

It's quite painful at the moment and I have needed to add co codamol to my list of medications!

I have managed to get an appointment with my physio but it is next Tuesday.

It would have been October 10th but he has now had a cancellation for Tuesday so I grabbed that !

I'm certainly frustrated with hurting it again but accept where I am which is a significantly better place than I was in in February!

Although I need to get to the bottom of why this keeps happening.

Ahh well, these things are sent to try us .

So at the moment the gym , running , walking are all on hold as just getting around the house is enough of a challenge 😐

Despite this, I still remain positive 🙂

[AlMorr]

I am so sorry Ian about that recurrence of your back pain, you can't even get a short walk,, just around the house, I just hope that your physio can sort things out next Tuesday

[Instructor57 in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks Alan, I managed to get out of the house to the local shop yesterday but was quite uncomfortable

[Jools2020]

So sorry to read this, Ian. I feel like typing a few choice swear words! Glad you’re remaining positive, though. Hopefully it won’t be a major setback.

[Instructor57 in reply to Jools2020]

Thanks Julia, I've certainly come out with a few ! 🤬I managed to hobble around the local shop yesterday

[Beatlesforever]

Oh no, so sorry to hear about this. Hopefully your physio will sort you out. Stay positive! 🍀

[Instructor57 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Fingers crossed 🤞 (Again 😐)

[Birdlady64]

Oh my, so sorry to read this. You're really not having much luck are you Ian? Is it possible you overdid things in the Gym?Hopefully the physio can get you sorted. One thing I can say is that my Pilates classes seem to be helping me with my back issues.

Impressed that you can stay positive though. A certain scene from Monty Pythons Life of Brian comes to mind... 😉

[Instructor57 in reply to Birdlady64]

Thanks Diane, yes, possible I guess we although I haven't increased anything .... Who knows .. haha yes, remember life of Brian 😁

[Petem56 in reply to Birdlady64]

Hi Birdlady, you are so right about pilates, I've been using exercises for a lot of years to help with back ache, and it's only recently that I found out that they are Pilates 🥺, I generally do some before I have a workout and first thing in the morning, it hasn't got rid of it but keeps it under control.

[JeremiahObadiah]

What a shame. You could do without this. Hope the physio can give you some appropriate treatment and advice/exercises to strengthen the bits that are presently not right.

[Instructor57 in reply to JeremiahObadiah]

Thanks, I certainly hope so 🤞

[Wavy-chick28]

so sorry to hear this hope you get some answers and are back out soon!

[Instructor57 in reply to Wavy-chick28]

Thank you 👍

[RunBrianRun]

I’m early sorry to hear this. Have you had an MRI to see what’s going on?

[Instructor57 in reply to RunBrianRun]

Thanks Brian, something I will ask my physio about on Tuesday 🤞

[grumpyoldgirl]

Oh no that's so frustrating not to mention painful! Hang in there.

[Instructor57 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

I'm trying!But yes , Both frustrating and painful 😐

[Gthants Graduate]

Great to remain positive in the face of all this. And that's a pretty swift appointment as these things go. Hope physio gets things moving again.

[Instructor57 in reply to Gthants]

I'm trying to!Difficult at times, and yes, lucky as the appointment was a cancellation

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold]

oh no! That back of yours! So sorry to hear that! It must be so annoying! Hope you can stay upbeat through this yet another spanner in the works!

[Gthants Graduate in reply to CBDB]

Actually, a spanner might work for my back ...

[Instructor57 in reply to CBDB]

I'll get there (wherever there is 🤔)I don't give up 🙂👍

[Lavender1962]

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully, the physio will help with the pain!

[Instructor57 in reply to Lavender1962]

Fingers crossed 🤞

[SueAppleRun]

Bad luck Ian, you have been doing so well and will hopefully bounce back soon

[Instructor57 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thanks Sue, I certainly hope so ! 🤞

[Petem56]

I totally understand about back pain, it's one thing I don't mention much, but it is always following me like a spectre, but I think I have been a bit lucky, as I'm just keeping mine in the background, but I notice it every time I stand up or sit down, but I'm keeping it well in the background, it is so debilitating, you cannot seem to do anything when it's bad, it affects every part of your life, so fingers crossed for you for Tuesday, 🙏

[Instructor57 in reply to Petem56]

Thanks Peter , Yes, it's a painful time and so so slow to recover from.

Hoping Tuesdays appointment brings a bit of relief 🤞

[Dexy5]

Sorry to hear this Instructor57. Good luck with the physio ! Might it be worth seeing your GP to get a referral to a back specialist given it’s happened a few times?

[Instructor57 in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks, and yes.. it's a question I will be asking the physio who also works at the local orphepedic hospital 🤔
