Lesley Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I'm sitting here with the same problem - the pain got me out of bed early this morning. I'm waiting for Ibuprofen to kick in before I can move. I found Pilates helped, but I haven't been able to do Pilates since I hurt my knee. Not much help if you're travelling around the country Mel - and driving def. makes it worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 ...at least i haven't got to drive this morning - or sit in meetings/training I feel for you Mel Mind you, I will be having FOUR children here today Lauren has had Claret's Rosie at her house for a sleepover last night and Jake has had a friend to stay as well - they will all be coming here today. Hmmmmmmmm - Rosie and Lauren together? - better go and start cooking They do both like their food now my head hurts just thinking about the logistics - as well as my back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladylucan Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hope you are feeling better today Mel, ( and Lesley) back trouble is no fun, i am apparently missing part of my back, around my neural arches, so exercise for me makes it worse. !!, but then so does sitting for too long, and standing for too long....... and after having hydrotherapy for one hour stopped me in my tracks for a whole week!!! I rely on pain killers to get me through the day..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Mel, I had terrible Sciatica for years & it was miserable,so I sympathise. I did manage to get rid of it though - I got pregnant & it went A bit extreme - red wine & Pilates might be better So you have my sympathies but no real advice,sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladylucan Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 When you drive Mel do you sit on anything.. ( ok, besides the car seat!!!! ) Would it help to have something else on their as well, like a flat cushion, etc?, just to make it abit more comfy as it sounds like you do quite a few miles.

chocchick Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I forgot to add my friend had a bad back and did pilates and it made it worse. You have to be careful doing yoga/pilates that they really know about your back and know what they are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
