Back from Zumba class and man is my neck sore

Didn't someone around here have a spare cabana boy? I need a neckrub!

 

[TifffanyD]

Oh also... I ordered all the data I can think of for today... the rest I have to order at night due to cost and wait for. NOW what do I do???

Good Morning all....
Sorry, I haven't read back yet. I hope everyone had a good Labor Day weekend. My back has been bothering me a lot so that put a damper on my weekend a bit. I had so much that I wanted to get done and I barely got to any of it

Then I was looking forward to the jacuzzi yesterday but the heater went out on my Mom's pool so no jacuzzi

So that is my moan and groan for the day. How was everyone's weekend?
I hope much better than mine

Ugh yuor back again (still)!! You need to get that looked at - backs are not something you want to mess with!

Yeah, I was warned that once you have a pinched nerve, it can keep coming back again. I've been doing the exercises that the physical therapist give me but these take so long to heal The last time it was 8 weeks before it got better. I think I will head back to the doctor to see if I can get stronger pain medication since the prescription that he gave me doesn't help at all.

I'm hoping since it came back again, he will order an MRI this time so we can find out what is causing it.

Man I hope so. And I hope it goes away soon! "It can come back again" is not really an acceptable diagnosis

It wasn't really a diagnosis as much as a warning from my physical therapist to keep doing the daily exercises and watch my posture.

The doctor just diagnosed it as a pinched nerve, gave me a mild pain reliever/anti-inflamatory (which hasn't done much to help) and sent me for physical therapy.

Where is your pinched nerve?

 

[jetskigrl]

Where is your pinched nerve?

Upper back (right at the neck). So the pain from the nerve runs all the way down my left arm That is what keeps me up at night more than my back. I can sleep flat on my back and that helps with the back pain. But my arm continues to hurt no matter how I sleep.

At least it isn't on my right side (since I am right handed). Because it really reduces the strength of my left hand/arm.

Are they having you do arm exercise's? If so , why don't you try a curve's for a few weeks and see if that helps any, I know I am getting stronger in my back and my leg...

Thanks. I was told not to do anything with weights but that aerobic exercise was OK. So I think the machines at curves would be OK. It isn't much different than what the physical therapist had me doing.

((( I really hope they can get it under control. UGH!!!!!!!!

Thanks! I am wondering if my Zumba has been causing more harm than good. All the movement feels good at the time but I'm wondering if it is prolonging the recovery. Since I can't do either of my classes this week, it will be a good test to see if holding off on that will help. I will just do all the PT-approved exercises this week. If that still doesn't help, it is back to the doctor again.
