MAYBE I'm older than most of you readers (probably: I'm 43)....
MAYBE it's my lifestyle...I've been working hard since I was 16 (I was still attending school when I started to work, helping my parents: back then, they ran a snack bar/cafeteria/ice cream shop open from 6 a.m. to midnight).
BUT....my lower back pain doesn't give me respite.
I don't want to take painkillers and drugs, or have surgery...I try to tackle the muscle pain and the stiffness by doing some yoga everyday.
But I have to be careful: I can't skip warming up and I have to avoid intense workouts to spare my ligaments, tendons, joints, spinal bones from severe damage.
So, as I've just finished my daily English "homework", I say goodbye to all of you, and I dedicate myself a bit to my gentle gym, just half an hour, before figuring out what to make for dinner.
See you!!!
I'm 27 years old and I have almost the same problem with my back. But it's because I am working at home for a year, just sitting with my laptop. Think, it is not healthy lifestyle at all. Though, I try to do yoga just like you. So I hope that your back will be okay!
Chronic pain is no fun! I’m 37 and try to do yoga also. I hope you get some relief soon!
Have you tried massage therapy? My neck/upper back used to be sore (working at a computer all day) and massage therapy helped a lot.
There is hope. I had nasty back pain for years. Found the right physiotherapist, did the exercises and started running. I feel better now than I did 8 years ago at age 60. It's all about progressive load. And bon appétit!
Thank you all for your advices and wishes. I appreciated it.
Keep the posts coming and stay healthy... I’m 42 and we are not old, the world keeps getting younger and younger :)
