I emailed the Y and asked if they would refund or defer, but I am not too optimistic. I am going to the gym and running my mile and getting on the elliptical just because. As long as I don't overdo it, it is not getting worse, just not better. Hopefully this will not be another thing that sidelines me for weeks again.

I finally broke down and made a doctor's appointment about my back. It got better after the marathon, but I had a major flareup this weekend that is still pretty bad. What is most frustrating--I spent $180 for Mike and I to take a TRX class starting tomorrow and I am going to have to be responsible and not go at least until I see the doctor later this week.
If your doctor says that you can't participate because of your back then ask him to write a note. I can't imagine any fitness facility that would not refund or defer a pre-paid activity if your doctor recommends against doing it {{hugs}}.Updated through post #144

Thanks! Honestly I am stretched out.Well that stinks R&M!
My PT would always say, if you are "in pain" change postions or stop doing what is hurting you. I try to follow that advice and so far have been pretty good with my back.
I see more stretching in your future.
Sometimes I end up stretching more than working out. I think at this point I need her to make sure something isn't going on like osteoarthritis or piriformis syndrome and if all else fails I guess it's back to pt. 
Thanks! They got back to me really fast and said since we cancelled before the class started and because no one else registered we can defer or just get our money back. So that's a relief.
Hang in there!
