thank you, mr.gurney! :tup: i will try this as soon as i get home. :) ive been marching around the office for 5min every hr. :icon17: and swinging my legs one at a time while standing to keep my muscles as loose as possible.

all i need now is a sand bag to kick the shitto out of. :D

My Chiropractor told me no heat. Ice only! (for my injury). I also have a Tens machine and use it regularly. The nice thing is I can use the Tens Machine for other muscle groups so I get more use out of it other than using it just for my back. Some are reasonably priced, you might want to look into it if you have a recurring injury.

thanks, mr.gale! :tup: yah, im definitely going to ice my upper butt/lower back when i get home.

i rarely get lower back injury...only when im tense from doing something the previous day... like working on the car in odd positions or something and then next morning i do regular things like pull up my pant and... :ugh2:

so i think i better do the mr.gurney excercise every morning after stretching to loosen up my muscles before heading down to do house chores..

Even though this is a what did you do with your Z today thread.... I'll chime in on back problems.

For me ... and it's different for everyone I think. The Chiropractor helped as the back swelling reduces. ICE does help the back swelling. Then Chiropractor or stretching exercises done easily will realign your back. Heat helps when you stretch out / realign.

I have been in four accidents over 35 years that messed up my back pretty bad. It wasn't until the third accident that I was in did I realize the system. I ICE ... then after a couple of days heat and stretch. Now, all I do is stretch everyday for about 5 mins. Stess does cause tightening.... If it is stress related back pain heat does a better job in loosing things up; then stretch. If i over work in the yard or pull something I ICE then heat/stretch after 12-24 hours. Repeat. Aspirin can help with inflamation. I generally take 2 aspirin while I'm ICING.

What did I do with my Z today? Checked to make sure she was warm and comfortable in the garage during this rainy spell we're having in Cali. Then I rubbed her down with some Zaino and played some music for her. Lol

hey thanks for that, mecinoid. i will definitely get ice when im home. luckily i dont have to pickup the kids today so i can go straight home. :D can't wait to lay on the floor... sitting has been a royal pita. :icon17:


in other news...been seeing a lot of new members posting useless crap lately. my ignore list has been increasing almost one or two per week. :icon17:

Second that ... I'm trying to minimize my comments unless I think they can help. My ignore list has been growing as well due to naysayers and people the just want to cause conflict or play the devil's advocate. That's just the way I've been rolling lately.

If you can't type something nice/trying to be imformative just don't touch the keyboard.

kenchan - hope you feel better

Can't we all just get along? :icon17:

Happy Thursday afternoon, everyone.
