We've got your back

My sciatica improved after I started moving more, but it didn't improve straight away. It hurt to walk for a while but it's getting easier and less painful

[Appleblossom]

@Dimity  exercise is not a panacea… but has helped me limit medication and pain and had other benefits. There are definitely days I feel lower in mood and stamina. Eg still haven’t done my single leg balance set while doing arm raises with weights… cos I fell over cos I tripped on my sock doing my sideways crab walk! Duh! Never knew that was a hazard. Finding the right mix for you… for each individual… matters. Good luck with surgery.

@Patchworks Sciatica is hard. I am keeping it at bay for the moment. Getting old ain’t for cissies.

Big cooee

No one has given me a coo---eeeee in ages! Thanks @Appleblossom !

I recently heard you were stuck with logging into your account here. Is it all okay now? Was it because of a tech issue on our side? I know it's sorta sounds stupid that I'm asking after you've posted, but I was wondering if this is an ongoing issue where you can log in sometimes and not other times.

If you have issues, you can email us at team@saneforums.org

Glad to hear @Appleblossom .

That's okay - we are not all techies... 

If you have issues in the future, give us a yell and we'll do what we can to get you back on.

hello @tyme , @Dimity , @Appleblossom , @Patchworks , @Emelia8 

how is everyone today ? 

[Patchworks]

Hi @Shaz51 and everyone,

I started doing Pilates using an app but it stopped working so I stopped doing it 😞

I have now signed up to a fitness centre for classes which starts in a week. I'll wait to see if I can do the exercises with my back/hip how it is.

I noticed that if I wear cheap shoes, my hip pain flares up so I stick to good sneakers (I was gifted a good pair of shoes).

How are you Shaz?

[Shaz51]

@Patchworks , take it nice and easy next week, listen to your body when you have had enough 

we walked to pick up our Ute from the mechanic so no exercise bike for me today 

[Patchworks]

Thanks @Shaz51 , yes I'll be guided by any discomfort so I don't hurt myself

I hope your mechanical bill wasn't too big. I don't know card well so dread the mechanic bills. It's good you got you're walking in. I walked over 7000 steps yesterday, slow day today
